Paul George moves up to 18th on the NBA's Career THREES MADE List!

🚨 Congrats to Paul George of the L.A. Clippers for moving up to 18th on the NBA's all-time THREES MADE list!🔥

PG13 climbs up the NBA record charts!

Let’s start with the good news: Paul George passed Chauncey Billups to climb up to 18th on the NBA's Career THREE-Pointers MADE List!

The bad news is: Paul George has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and will be out up to a month. The Los Angeles Clippers announced George’s injury Saturday. He will rest and be re-evaluated in three to four weeks, when next steps will be decided, the team said. George was injured at Portland on Dec. 6 and missed five straight games with what the team said was a sprained right elbow. He returned to play against San Antonio and Sacramento earlier this week.

UCL tears are more common in baseball, where often lead to Tommy John surgery. George leads the Clippers in scoring with a career-high 24.7 points, 5.5 assists and two steals per game. He's second on the team in rebounds at 7.1. He has been the team's go-to player this season with Kawhi Leonard sidelined. Leonard had surgery in July to repair a partially torn ACL and the Clippers haven’t given a timetable for his return.
