I'm also the host of the locked on fantasy basketball podcast and the lead analyst

at basketball monster.com and Yahoo Sports Australia and you can find me on Twitter. basketball the NBA for some top teams in the East and a injury return across in the Western

conference and we're going to talk about that in today's show so let's get to it.

Now I'm joined by one of the hosts of the Lockdon Clippers podcast

William Updike is here with me. It's been a pretty good start to the season for the clippers

William and it's about to get a bit better I think because Paul George's return appears imminent.

What's the latest on the return of

PG? So it sounds like they're eyeing a return either for that game against

the Rockets or the Pells, which is a back to back.

So I mean, I would like to see him in that rockets game.

It'd be nice if you want to ease him in.

I guess I do totally understand though going ahead and maybe having

Kauai play the first note of that back to back resting him and then having George's

So I think it's, we're expecting, sorry, mid to late November for return.

So he seems a little bit of ahead of schedule here
