Paul George Reveals Update on Re-Aggravated Injury After Lakers vs. Clippers /

In this story:

LA Clippers star Paul George is currently playing through some groin soreness. Clippers head coach Ty Lue revealed after Tuesday night's win over the Los Angeles Lakers that George's groin is something the team is monitoring.

When asked about this after the game, George said, "It was something that re-aggravated from last game. Just trying to be ahead of it. A little sore, but I was fine enough to lace it up and give it a go tonight."

With George being able to play 30 minutes on Tuesday, it doesn't seem that this is something too serious for the Clippers star, but it will still be something to monitor as the team begins a seven game road trip. George has been durable for the Clippers this season, having missed just two games, so hopefully this groin issue is not something that lingers for him.

The Clippers have been playing great basketball, having won 20 of their last 24 games, and the play of George is a big reason why. Averaging 23.5 PPG on great efficiency, George has been playing at a very high level all season. Remaining available has been the biggest story for both George and his star teammate Kawhi Leonard, as both players have been in the lineup almost every game for the Clippers this season.
