Chris Paul only missed two games in this shortened 72-game regular season.
One was due to a sore hamstring Feb. 8 against Cleveland.
The other was the regular-season finale at San Antonio as Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams rested Paul and fellow All-Star guard Devin Booker.
The Suns won both games. But now they may have to start the Western Conference finals without their leader as Paul has been placed under health and safety protocols, according to The Athletic.
How will the Suns look without Paul to start their first conference finals since 2010, which was the last time they made the playoffs?
