Paul George suffered an apparent right leg injury in the LA Clippers' 101-100 loss to the OKC Thunder on Tuesday night. George fell awkwardly after rebounding the ball and got tangled up with Lu Dort.
The Clippers star was carried to the locker room and was ruled out for the rest of the game. There's still no update on his injury, but at first glance, it appears to be a hyperextended knee.
According to Dr. Evan Jeffries, an injury analyst for Fox Sports, George might have suffered a hyperextended knee. Jeffries added that he's concerned that "PG13" might have also damaged his ACL, PCL, MCL and joint capsule.
LA Clippers coach Ty Lue said that George is still being evaluated by the medical staff. The Clippers are hoping for the best, which is George not suffering a serious knee injury.

Nevertheless, Clippers fans were devastated upon seeing Paul George's injury. The team has been inconsistent this season but has slowly started getting into a groove. If George gets ruled out, the Clippers will have to rely on Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook to carry them for the rest of the season.
"Noooooo What's the point in living," one fan tweeted.
Here are some of the comments on George's apparent injury:
