We are currently stuck in “injury news limbo”. Those who follow the Phoenix Suns have held their breath for multiple days after their All-Star point guard Chris Paul clutched his right thumb on Wednesday night. The pain on his face was palpable and the words that spewed from his mouth mirrored those I would utter if I missed a nail while hammering and caught a finger. Not PG rated.
The play that preceded his ejection in a game against the Houston Rockets was an entry pass to Deandre Ayton that went awry. Upon further review, you could see that Paul smashed his right thumb on the forearm of Jae’Sean Tate.
