Clippers’ Paul George (knee) still out, to miss Lakers game

PLAYA VISTA, Calif. – The LA Clippers will face the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday without injured All-Star Paul George.

George will miss his second straight game with left knee soreness. Clippers coach Ty Lue said George would not practice Tuesday and would not be available against the Lakers.

“He’s hurt,” Lue said when asked why George wasn’t playing.

George was on the floor taking pictures at the practice facility before the team had its film session and practice.

The All-Star played 36 and 37 minutes in back-to-back games in Oklahoma City and Memphis last week, scoring 14 points in each game. But he didn't play in Sunday's home loss to Sacramento.

George's next opportunity to play will be Friday at home against Washington. This match will take place a week after his last participation in Memphis.

Wednesday's game will be the final regular season meeting between the Clippers and Lakers as co-tenants at Crypto.com Arena. The Clippers will move into their new arena in Inglewood, the Intuit Dome, next season.
