Chris Paul (heel) to return as Suns take on Celtics
Suns star Chris Paul will return for the first time in a month when Phoenix hosts the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
Paul, who has been out since Nov. 7 when he suffered a heel injury that forced him to leave a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, was initially listed as questionable for the game, but the team said he was available to play about two hours before the 10 p.m. ET tipoff (ESPN).
"I feel pretty good," Paul told reporters in Phoenix. "I'm going to see how I feel after this and go from there."
The Suns have gone 9-5 over the past month with Paul sidelined and enter the game in first place in the Western Conference for a second straight season.
