Playoffs start in 7 weeks, so knowing Chris Paul, I’d almost guarantee he won’t be missing any postseason action. The question is whether the Suns can hold their place at No. 1 and whether he’ll get a few games to knock the rust off. Tough break for Phoenix – 7:57 PM

Uncharted waters for the Suns. Chris Paul missed 4 total regular season/playoff games last year and has played every game this season.
Next big update will be the status of Cam Payne. Hasn’t played since Jan. 22 because of a sprained right wrist. – 7:56 PM

More on this storyline
Results of an MRI scheduled for Thursday haven’t been released by the team, but Chris Paul’s hand was wrapped in a cast during Team LeBron’s practice Saturday afternoon. Paul didn’t rule himself out of Sunday’s All-Star Game but was vague when asked about how long he could be out. “We’re 48-10 and if we do miss some time, I know the guys are going to hold it down,” Paul said, referencing the Suns’ record. “There’s always going to be a frustration with injury. My hand surgeon is part of my family now.” -via ESPN / February 19, 2022
Paul hasn’t missed a game this season and is averaging 14.9 points and a league-best 10.7 assists for first-place Phoenix. “I always want to play. When I felt that in my hand, I was mad for all types of reasons,” Paul said. “Obviously we’re not going to (rush it). I’m going to try to heal as fast as physically possible. The second I’m able to play, I guarantee you I will be playing.” -via ESPN / February 19, 2022
