George returns to lineup as Clippers play host to 76ers

LOS ANGELES -- Paul George will return to the lineup when the LA Clippers face the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.

The Clippers star guard missed five straight games after tweaking a right hamstring injury that had previously kept him out of seven straight games earlier this season.

The Clippers need their star guard healthy again. They entered Tuesday night having dropped seven of their last nine games, and in the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference playoff race.

Coach Ty Lue said he expects George to be a little rusty after this latest stretch of games off.
