MVP season in the making? Paul George playing ‘with vengeance’ for Clippers

Kawhi Leonard first noticed the hints of what was to come from his teammate last fall.

With his surgically repaired shoulders healthy, and a mind only recently removed from the “dark place” he found himself in following the Clippers’ postseason collapse, Paul George attacked drills during a joint offseason training session alongside Leonard with noticeable speed.

“He put his mind into his work,” Leonard said. “A lot of his stuff was like kind of game-simulated, working on the passes, reads.”

Marcus Morris heard the clues in George’s tone.
