Paul George's injury looked really bad that it has sparked fears about his availability moving forward amid the Los Angeles Clippers' bid to make the playoffs this 2022-23 season.

The injury happened during the Clippers' Tuesday night showdown against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder, with the LA squad losing 101-100.

With 4:38 left in the contest, the star forward fell to the floor after being hit accidentally by Luguentz Dort. George laid on the ground for several minutes and writhed in pain after his leg tweaked badly.

PG13 hobbled to the locker room with the help of two staff members after hurting his right leg. He was afterward seen being carted out of the stadium with his right leg outstretched, according to an NBA report.

Paul George had to be helped to the locker room after this…Prayers. 🙏🙏
