Chris Paul

PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Chris Paul will not face the Clippers on Friday as he nurses a sprained left hand.

This is the first we are hearing of this injury for Paul and with the game meaning nothing for the Thunder, it is likely just a minor injury. The team does not want to risk any injuries as they look to make some noise against the Rockets in the first round. CP3 was traded by the Rockets to the Thunder in the offseason for Russell Westbrook so that will be a fun storyline to watch next week. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will shift to point guard for the season finale if he doesn't get ruled out as well.
