PAUL GEORGE’S pleas for players to remain committed and return to the franchise next season didn’t go over well with all of his Los Angeles Clippers teammates, according to a report by The Athletic.
George made his comments inside the locker room following the loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals last Tuesday. This was right after the Clippers’ third straight setback during an alarming collapse after they took a 3-1 series lead.
According to the report, some of George’s teammates were bewildered and began rolling their eyes as he spoke. The overall feeling was that George’s actions in the series didn’t line up with his postgame vows.
The remarks also came immediately after George scored just 10 points on four-of-16 shooting in the decisive contest. It was the second time he tallied just 10 in the series after averaging 21.5 on the season. — Reuters
