Star player Paul George, who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, one of the American Basketball League (NBA) teams, will be sidelined for 2-3 weeks due to his injury.

In the statement issued by the club, it was indicated that the 32-year-old player, who was diagnosed with tension in his right knee after medical control, will continue his treatment for 2-3 weeks.

According to US press reports, George, who was injured in the game in which the Clippers were defeated 101-100 yesterday by the Oklahoma City Thunder, is expected to close out the regular season.
