The Clippers player began with the sequence of the play. He saw Dort coming and trying to swipe into his area in an attempt to get the ball. But the next thing George knows is that the OKC Thunder player’s knee hit his knee, and the way the injury happened his knee never had the chance to break his fall and his leg went backward. He acknowledged that Lou Dort is a competitive player and let the incident go as “just a wild play.” Though, he still recalls the fall talking about the intensity of the pain as something when he just “closed his eyes and [he] was just like damn when is the pain gonna stop?”
