Clippers’ George to miss start of season due to shoulder surgeries

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George will miss the start of the NBA season while recovering from off-season surgery on both shoulders, he told ESPN on Sunday. George said he will be out until "November-ish", which would see him miss the training camp as well as the team's season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 22. George, who was acquired in a trade by the Clippers during an off-season splash that also saw them sign free agent Kawhi Leonard, had surgery on his right shoulder in May and an operation on the left shoulder five weeks later.
