Paul George opened up about being at the Lakers’ title ceremony in the season opener on December 22.

George said this will be a great event for the Lakers, but he and the Clippers will not get extra motivation, since this is just the start of the season.

“Dec. 22 won’t be the test of finding who we are, where we’re at…It’ll be a great ceremony for them…but [it’s] the start of the marathon…we had enough motivation if we [play] someone else or the Lakers,” George told reporters, via Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.

After a disappointing end to the season in the Orlando “bubble”, Paul George and the Clippers have their sights set on turning things around and making it to the Finals.
