The Los Angeles Clippers have waited quite some time to see Paul George play in their colors. He has been injured for quite some time, but it seems that he is only inches away from making his NBA debut for them.
During Saturday's practice — which is his first full practice — PG13 looks ready to space the floor and sink threes with his shots.

There doesn't seem to be any discomfort on George's shooting form, and he can move fine without any problems. This means that his right shoulder is right where it needs to be when it comes to condition.
His shots from deep are also deadly, with the ball hitting nothing but net.
This could mean that George's shoulder is fully recovered and will be ready to play at full strength when the Clippers face the Toronto Raptors on Monday night.
George averaged 28.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.2 steals in his final year with Oklahoma City Thunder. Clippers fans are definitely expecting to see more of the same from him once he makes his season debut.
George's return is not the only significant storyline that basketball fans will be looking at this game. This will also be the first time this season that Kawhi Leonard will be facing the team he won the 2019 Finals with.
Kawhi Leonard shared that plenty of Canadian hoops fans approached him in the City of Angels, and his impending reunion with the Raptors got him on a trip down memory lane. Of course, his former teammates will not make life easy for him, but George should be able to make an impact if he returns on time.
