Ty Lue said that the Los Angeles Clippers will not rush Paul George back into the lineup as the forward remains out with a sprained knee.
“Even if he does try to come back and he’s not right, we’re not going to let him go because we’re not going to let him injure himself and make it worse than what it really is,” said Lue.
George suffered the injury on March 21. The team said last week that there is currently no timetable for George’s return.
“When he comes back, we’ll make sure he’s close to 100 percent without being able to injure himself even more,” added Lue.
Game 1 of the Clippers series against the Suns takes place on Sunday.
