Chris Paul calls out referee Scott Foster: ‘They're going to fine me'

In a recent appearance on the This League Uncut podcast with Marc Stein and Chris Haynes, LA Clippers coach Ty Lue gave Clippers fans a welcomed injury update. Lue said that stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George should both be full-go when training camp starts next month.

“They’re both on track to be 100% by the time training camp starts, and that’s what we need,” Lue said. “You know, our best players will be healthy, and we’ve just been in an unfortunate situation where our two best players (haven’t had) a full season together the last three years and that’s been tough on us.”

Leonard appeared in 52 regular season games in 2022-23, while George played in 56. Leonard played in two playoff games, before suffering a torn meniscus in his right knee. George missed the entire playoffs with a sprained right knee.

The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that forward Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain.

An MRI taken this morning confirmed the injury. Williamson will be re-examined in approximately two weeks.

The Pelicans will play the Sacramento Kings on Friday for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
