You may remember the subplot of the Thunder`s nightmare first round exit last spring being Paul George’s shoulder injuries. He had surgery on them while no one was paying attention to him on the Thunder, and now that he’s on the Clippers, it matters. As training camp opened last month for the Clips, we learned that George is expected to miss the start of the regular season while recovering from his injuries. He is expected back sometime in November. However, George’s absence casts a peculiar quest for dominance in LA. Assimilating two players of pure gravity like George and Leonard is already hard enough, adding one in camp and one on the fly adds difficulty. Also to be taken in accountability one would expect Leonard would still be settling in with his new team when George makes his comeback. Therefore that is why the Clipper’s are a must watch team to see what they can do with the newly formed roster once everyone is back healthy.
