The
Los Angeles Clippers forward
Paul George has revealed
that he remains committed to extending his stay with the franchise.
The 33-year-old has been one of the most consistent
performers for the franchise this season. His current contract with the
Clippers is coming to an end in the summer of 2025.
When asked by the reporters about whether there is intent
from both sides to agree to a contract extension, he responded by saying: “That’s
the goal”.
George was instrumental in helping the Clippers secure a
much-needed win against the Detroit Pistons with a score of 112-106 as he
registered a whopping 33 points to go with five rebounds and three assists.
Talking after the match, the star forward expressed satisfaction
about his performance which according to him is the fruit of a different ‘approach.
George also showed faith in his fellow players and stated that the team is
picking at the right moment.
“It means the approach for this season paid off, and that
was [to prepare] as we haven't in years past,” said George. “But more so
knowing what's at stake and the importance of the regular season.
“We just have the roster, we have the personnel, and now
we're just putting it all together and we've been healthy. Let’s call a spade a
spade. We've been healthy, and I think that's what's really gotten us off to a
great start.”
