Former Suns PG Chris Paul Expected to Miss Several Weeks With Injury

Another hand injury befell the former guard for the Suns.

Chris Paul, a point guard for the Golden State Warriors and a former member of the Phoenix Suns, was previously expected to miss time due to a fractured hand; now we know when he might be able to play again.

Following surgery in the near future, Paul is expected to miss four to six weeks, according to information provided earlier today by ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

This is a potentially pivotal moment in the Warriors’ season.

Paul and Gary Payton II’s prolonged absences diminish the guard depth that head coach Steve Kerr sorely needs to counterbalance an aging team.

As of right now, the Warriors are only one half-game ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers for the final play-in place in the Western Conference, where they are ranked as the 10th seed.

Paul, who is 38 years old, has become less of a scorer this season.

Not only has his efficiency dropped below 10 points per game for the first time in his career, but it is also the lowest it has been since his debut year in 2005–06.

Paul has continued to be a mainstay in Steve Kerr’s rotation, appearing in 32 of the Warriors’ 35 games thus far and starting 11 of them following his trade from Phoenix to Washington and finally Golden State.

Thanks to his unwavering selflessness and ongoing mastery of making the perfect move, he has played a crucial role in developing young players on the Warriors team, including Trayce Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski.

Paul will almost definitely miss the Warriors’ season-ending game against the Suns on February 10, which is scheduled to air on ABC as a Saturday night primetime showdown.
