Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports

The Clippers reached a long-term agreement with star forward Kawhi Leonard, signing him to a contract extension on Wednesday.

Now, they are trying to lock up their other star forward. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Clippers are in ongoing talks with Paul George on a contract extension as well.

George, 33, has had a season of relative good health and remained on the court — just as Leonard has. That and the addition of high-scoring guard James Harden has people finally believing the Clippers are a true contender.

George is averaging 23.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists, shooting 46 percent from the field and 41 percent on 3-pointers, in 34 games.
