Paul George, Nicolas Batum Out For Wednesday’s Game
3 years agoLos Angeles Clippers small forward Paul George (rest) and power forward Nicolas Batum will be unavailable for Wednesday's contest against Sacramento. George's absence marks his first of the season, yet it comes at a curious time with the Clippers set for a weekend back-to-back vs. the Lakers and Kings on Friday and Saturday, respectively. In addition to averaging a gaudy stat line of 25.9 points, 7.3 boards and 5.1 assists on a nightly basis, George's 22 field-goal attempts per game leads the league. With that in mind, all healthy Clippers will garner added DFS appeal Wednesday, as there will ample shots to go around. Batum remains in the league's health and safety protocols, and when he might return is unknown.
