Paul George Pulled From Fourth Quarter For Hamstring Tightness George was unable to finish the LA Clippers' game against the OKC Thunder. Author: Jan 24, 2021 Paul George was unable to complete Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to hamstring tightness. "I benched him... nah I'm just messing with you,” Head Coach Tyronn Lue joked after the game. “He had some tightness going into the game. In that last 4 minutes he felt tight again. We were just being cautious." The Clippers closed the game with a lineup of Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard, Kawhi Leonard, Nicolas Batum and Ivica Zubac, and narrowly escaped with a 108-100 victory after allowing the Thunder to go on an 11-0 run with less than three minutes to go in the game. The Clippers’ broadcast team was confused as to why George, the team’s second star and defensive stopper, was not on the court with the game suddenly in jeopardy.
