重点大意:
Lue不清楚PG伤势细节。
进一步伤势检查发现是脚趾肿胀,可能进一步造成骨髓及关节肿胀。
快艇不清楚PG要休多久,但Lue的语气听起来,PG会休一段时间。
公牛的Porter Jr.去年一开始也是诊断为骨头肿胀,后来变成骨折,65场只出赛14场。
PG表现亮眼,进入180俱乐部,三分超准,先前缺席4场快艇3败,本季他在场上快艇净胜
14分,不在场上时快艇净负1.1分。
快艇要更依赖可爱,好在快艇战绩好,还有空间等PG回来。

Paul George injury update: Clippers star sidelined due to foot injury called
a bone edema
By Jack Maloney

Paul George has been playing some brilliant basketball for the Los Angeles C
lippers this season, but he sat out the team's loss to the Boston Celtics on
Friday night due to a foot injury, and it's not clear when he'll be back on
the court.?
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue offered few details on George's status and repeate
d "I don't know" to a series of questions about specifics. "I'm not really s
ure when he really started feeling it or whatever," Lue said. "I'm not reall
y sure … he did have a hell of a game (in Cleveland). So, just hope we can
get him back soon ... We're going to miss him. We wish him a speedy recovery
."
George was initially listed on the Clippers' injury report with a sore foot,
but the specific injury is a bone edema in his toe. That's a bit of an obsc
ure one, so it's worth getting a little bit more information, courtesy of Ar
lington Orthopedic Specialists:
"Bone marrow edema, also referred to as a bone marrow lesion, is the build-u
p of fluid within the bone marrow. Typically this accumulation of fluid is d
ue to an injury to the bones. Bone marrow consists of fatty, bony, and blood
cell producing material and is contained within what is called the 'spongy
bone.' When edema occurs, the increased fluid inside the bone causes inflamm
ation of the bone marrow and adjacent joint."
So how long might George be on the sidelines? It seems like the Clippers rea
lly don't know, but Lue's response and tone indicated that it could end up b
eing a decent amount of time. For what it's worth, Mirjam Swanson of the Ora
nge County Register noted in her report that, "Chicago's Otto Porter Jr. mis
sed all but 14 of the Bulls' 65 games in the shortened 2019-20 season with a
left foot fracture that initially was diagnosed as 'continued bone edema.'"
Through his first 20 games, George was putting together one of the best seas
ons of his career, averaging 24.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists on 50
/40/90-club efficiency. In particular, he had been shooting the ball better
than ever. His career-best 47.8 percent mark from downtown was seventh in th
e league, and among players with at least 100 3-point attempts, only Joe Har
ris had been more efficient. ?
George has now missed four games this season, and the Clippers are 1-3 in th
ose outings, which isn't surprising. In the 680 minutes that George has been
on the court this season, the Clippers have a plus-14 net rating. In the 47
2 minutes without him, they have a minus-1.1 net rating.?
It goes without saying that this is a massive loss for Los Angeles, and they
're going to have to lean on Kawhi Leonard even more than they already do. T
he one bit of good news for the third-place Clippers is that they got off to
a 17-7 start this season, which has them in third place in the Western Conf
erence, and 3.5 games ahead of the teams behind them. That buffer will be im
portant as they try to figure things out in George's absence.?
