The Los Angeles Clippers will be without their best player with the season on the line. Star forward Paul George will miss Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to the NBA's health and safety protocols, the team confirmed.
The news comes with the Clippers fighting for a playoff spot. After losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, the Clippers dropped into the second round of the play-in tournament. The team will take on the Pelicans — who defeated the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
