Norman Powell Says He Might Return This Season

Norman Powell has not been ruled out for the season.

While the LA Clippers are waiting for both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to return, it's easy to forget that they're also waiting for Norman Powell.

Powell suffered a fractured bone in his left foot during only his third game with the Clippers, and has not played since. Powell went on Instagram live last night where he gave a brief update about his return, among other things.

Powell said that he "might" return this season and that Clippers fans are just going to have to wait and see about a potential return. He also mentioned how happy he was to be traded to the Clippers. It was a pretty candid Instagram Live session for Powell.

Two weeks ago, sources within the Clippers told AllClippers that Powell wasn't shut down for the season and that they're "hopeful" for a return. His conversation last night echoes that same statement about a potential return. While both the Clippers and Powell are hopeful, it is worth noting that he's still in a walking boot. It's tough to look at any type of return until one can actually see Powell start moving around comfortably.

In the meantime, it's looking more and more like the LA Clippers will be locked into the 8th seed. Yes, there's a chance that the team can still get into the 7th seed, but Minnesota would have to really not take advantage of their easy schedule for that to happen.
