PG腳趾骨腫脹缺賽 - NBA

重點大意：
Lue不清楚PG傷勢細節。
進一步傷勢檢查發現是腳趾腫脹，可能進一步造成骨髓及關節腫脹。
快艇不清楚PG要休多久，但Lue的語氣聽起來，PG會休一段時間。
公牛的Porter Jr.去年一開始也是診斷為骨頭腫脹，後來變成骨折，65場只出賽14場。

PG表現亮眼，進入180俱樂部，三分超準，先前缺席4場快艇3敗，本季他在場上快艇淨勝
14分，不在場上時快艇淨負1.1分。
快艇要更依賴可愛，好在快艇戰績好，還有空間等PG回來。

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

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.?
