There are just a few weeks left in the regular season and the Los Angeles Clippers might be without one of their biggest stars for this pivotal period.
Paul George recently suffered a sprained right knee during a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Initial reports have said that George may be out for two to three weeks.
Speaking on his Podcast P show presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, George gave even more information to fans.
He said he doesn’t know his timetable for a return but stated that he is “gonna do whatever I can do to shorten the process.”
On new "Podcast P," Paul George says he doesn't know his timetable for a return but "I'm gonna do whatever I can do to shorten the process."
Says he initially wondered if he'd torn his ACL.
Called it a "freak accident" and nothing malicious by Lu Dort.https://t.co/1TIQVcnlyX

This is both good and bad news for fans of the Clippers.
The good news is that George is going to work hard to get back on the court and that will surely help the team’s playoff chances.
But the bad news is that he isn’t sure of any timetable for his return.
For the season, George is averaging 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.
He is easily one of the best players for his team and they could be in a tough spot without him.
Once again, the Clippers have not delivered on all their potential this season.
Fans have been very hopeful that they could cobble together a string of strong wins in the playoffs, surprise the rest of the league, and even go all the way to the Finals.
But the chances of that happening without George are slim.
The team is going to wait anxiously for a new update on George.
They will not be able to rest easy until they know when their star player is coming back to them.
