Clippers Point Guard Chris Paul Leaves Thunder Game With Sprained Left Thumb
Initial X-rays during the game were negative, but Paul is expected to get an MRI on Tuesday to determine any further damage
Clippers guard Chris Paul left Monday’s game against the Thunder with a sprained left thumb and didn’t return.
Initial X-rays during the game were negative, but Paul is expected to get an MRI on Tuesday to determine any further damage after jamming his left hand on Russell Westbrook’s right leg in the second quarter.
Paul went around a Joffrey Lauvergne screen while chasing Westbrook, who jumped into Paul while attempting to draw a foul on a 3-point attempt. Immediately after the play, a frutstrated Paul walked straight to the locker room with head athletic trainer Jasen Powell.
Head coach Doc Rivers said he didn’t see the injury as it happened, and he’ll have to wait to see what the MRI shows, but he knew the kind of injury Paul sustained from playing the position and seeing Paul favor his left hand after the play.
