There is no denying that when the head coach is anxious to know what happened to the players, it means that things may be more serious. Paul george suffers from a rare and strange disease. After the Clippers were hit hard and won the championship, the media broke the news one after another, saying that George's toe bone was swollen. Then he posted on the official blog and officially confirmed the news. "George missed the last game between the Clippers and the Celtics because of bone marrow swelling in his foot. This kind of injury was caused by hydronephrosis after his stress fracture. Players affected by this injury usually need 4 to 46 games to recover. " An authoritative orthopedic sports doctor said.
So, what is the so-called bone marrow swelling of the foot? This kind of injury is rare in the NBA, but in the past three years, two players have experienced similar situations, namely Otto Porter of the Bulls and Robert Williams of the Celtics. 20 19, 1 1, Potter sprained his left foot and was diagnosed with bone marrow swelling. It was not until March 2020 that back in the game arrived, and the recovery period lasted for four months. From 20 19 to 12, Robert Williams suffered from bone marrow swelling and returned in March 2020. The whole recovery period lasted three and a half months.
Obviously, George's news has dealt a great blow to the Clippers, because they have an excellent momentum this season and are currently ranked third in the West with 17 wins and 7 losses. George made 20 appearances, averaging 24.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists 1.2 steals, shooting 50.8%, shooting 47.8% from three-pointers and 90.5% from free throws. His performance is stable and efficient, so he will be absent for a long time If the recovery time is 4 months, the regular season will be over by the time he comes back, and it is really difficult to predict what will happen to his team. This is a major blow to the Clippers' championship this season. Their tactics and chemical reactions had to be destroyed again. After all, paul george is gone. The discount value of combat power brought by his absence is far greater than it seems. Of course, compared with the championship and team record, the health of players is always the most important. Finally, let's wish George a speedy recovery and an early back in the game.
