Paul George started from where he left as the LA Clippers played their first scrimmage game against Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
George had a great start to his life in Los Angeles. He moved to the Clippers last summer from Oklahoma City Thunder to team up with Kawhi Leonard. He has been proving his worth since coming into the side. Prior to the league’s suspension, George averaged 21 points per game shooting at 43.2% from field goals. He has also contributed with 5.7 assists and just under four assists per game in his 42 appearances.
As the Clippers return to action after over four months, George showed his skills. Step back shots from beyond the arc, driving to the rim, showing off a few skills, dishing out an assist- George did it all in the first few minutes of the game.
