The swish of the net after Landry Shamet’s first shot Saturday night in Chicago was encouraging for the Clippers. Injuries also cost reserve guard Rodney McGruder 11 games, and Shamet’s ankle kept him out for 17, with his sprain occurring just days before George’s Clippers debut. Rivers has said he envisions pairing Shamet and George because their outside shooting will apply pressure to defenses. That was part of a larger problem for a Clippers starting lineup that was cobbled together because of injuries. It was also a night that put the Clippers one step closer to seeing their full lineup in action.
