More on this storyline

Justin Russo: TNT’s Chris Haynes reports that Paul George is expected to go through a “two week ramp-up period” and would be back by the second week of March should his MRI on February 24th go well. -via Twitter / February 16, 2022

Ohm Youngmisuk: Lawrence Frank said Paul George continues to feel better and that the MRI on his torn UCL in right elbow on Feb. 24 isn’t the final answer on his outlook for this season but will continue to guide them on his recovery. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / February 5, 2022

Lue said he hopes George is “feeling good.” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Jan. 18 that the team was extending George’s period of rest a few more weeks to see how his elbow responds. “Right now, that’s what they’re saying,” Lue said of George’s planned MRI on Feb. 24. “But things can change any day, any time.” “I hope he’s feeling good,” Lue added. “I don’t know, but things can change. Just something to look forward to. Hope is stronger than fear.” -via ESPN / February 4, 2022
