LOS ÁNGELES (AP) – Paul George no jugó con Los Angeles Clippers contra los San Antonio Spurs el martes por la noche. 

El entrenador de los Clippers, Tyronn Lue, dijo que George se lastimó el tobillo en la victoria del domingo sobre Phoenix y la forma en que calentó determinaría si jugaría contra los Spurs. 

«Él será el que lo esté midiendo», dijo Lue antes del juego. George tiene un promedio de 25,1 puntos, 5,7 rebotes y 5,1 asistencias por partido. 

El guardia de Los Ángeles Luke Kennard comenzó en lugar de George. También salió para los Clippers Marcus Morris Sr., quien aún no ha jugado esta temporada debido a un dolor en la rodilla derecha.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul George sat out for the Los Angeles Clippers against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said George tweaked his ankle in Sunday’s win over Phoenix and how he warmed up would determine whether he played against the Spurs.

“He’s going to be the one gauging it,” Lue said before the game.

George is averaging 25.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. Los Angeles guard Luke Kennard started in George’s place.

Also out for the Clippers was Marcus Morris Sr., who has yet to play this season because of a sore right knee.
