Anyone who has followed the Phoenix Suns closely during the Monty Williams era knows well just how coy the organization can be about injuries.
That’s why a “day-to-day” listing for Chris Paul, who strained his left groin with 4:32 in the third quarter of game 2 of the Conference Semifinals versus the Denver Nuggets, feels a little hollow, especially considering how long he was listed as “day-to-day” during the regular season despite riding the pine for long stretches. I’m more inclined to believe the three-game absence that was reported via The Athletic’s Shams Charania and confirmed by local brea writer Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic.
