Chris Paul had a tight left calf after Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets, but did finish the game with 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting, three treys, six boards, 10 assists and four steals in 35 minutes.

Paul also took an elbow to his right forearm and all of this speaks to the added wear and tear he has accumulated due to Blake Griffin’s injury.  The Clippers get the Kings on Friday and that would be a good spot to rest him if you’re Doc Rivers, but we’re not going there unless we get some sort of news to that effect.  And if he plays he should destroy them.
