EVEN as he saw action in the All-Star Game, Chris Paul is expected to sit out a big part of the remainder of the regular season.
Paul, who saw action early for Team LeBron in the All-Star Game on Sunday (Monday, Manila time), sustained the injury last week in the win over Houston, the Phoenix Suns’ final game before the break.
Tests on his right thumb showed an avulsion fracture, according to reports.
The Suns are six and a half games ahead of the Golden State Warrior
"I've had four hand surgeries in my career. It's like my hand surgeon is part of my family, but things could be a lot worse," Paul said ahead of the All-Stag Game.
"I'm still blessed, grateful that we're 48-10 and if I do miss some time, I know the guys will hold it down."
Chris Paul is confident the Suns can manage without him after the All-Star break.
