Kawhi Leonard & Paul George Update, James Harden Is Falling Apart?, Warriors Ducking?
44Paul George’s injury recovery has progressed to the point that the Clippers star practiced Sunday against some of the team’s coaches at their Playa Vista facility.
If George isn't able to return to game action before the postseason begins, that wouldn’t necessarily rule him out for eventually making a return during the playoffs, coach Tyronn Lue said Monday.
Asked whether any of the injured Clippers who have not been ruled out for the season — a group that includes George, Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell and rookie guard Jason Preston — would need to ramp up with regular-season action before being used in the playoffs, Lue said no.
“I can’t say that,” the coach said. “If it were up to me, I would say yes because that is pretty — to hit the playoffs going at 100, from zero to 100, that is pretty tough.
“But if the medical guys say they are cleared and they are able to do that, that is totally up to them.”
Lue was asked if he is keeping the figurative door open for returns by his injured contributors?
Hell yeah I keep it open,” Lue said.
The Golden State Warriors’ penchant for losing games they have in hand is almost becoming legendary. They’re the fastest gunslingers in the West, but they could teach a masterclass in shooting themselves in the foot on too many occasions this season. On Sunday night, these Warriors had a victory in hand that would have kept them within striking distance of the Western Conference’s No. 2 seed.
The Philadelphia 76ers had a chance late at home against the rival Toronto Raptors. After two missed free throws by rookie Scottie Barnes, the Sixers were down 90-88 with 7.2 seconds left. At that point, it was time for James Harden to prove why Philadelphia went out and acquired him.
It seemed like a prime moment for him to step up and come through for his new team, but when he drove the paint, he was called for an offensive foul which was then turned into a flagrant-1 foul. The Raptors took advantage and they went on to win 93-88.
It was a fitting end to a night where the Sixers saw a 16-point lead in the first half evaporate rather quickly and they only scored 51 points in the final three quarters after scoring 37 in the opening 12 minutes. Harden finished with 17 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists, but he also had six turnovers on the night.
