Paul broke the third metacarpal in his hand on Tuesday night and left the Clippers game against Portland. His prognosis isn't known, but it's almost impossible to imagine him not missing a couple weeks with the injury. Assuming the Clippers advance to face Golden State, the first few games will be sans both all-world point guards.
