Chris Paul, in defiance of the odds, may have managed to have worse luck than Steph Curry.
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 at least figure to be sans both all-world point guards. Pablo Prigioni vs. Leandro Barbosa should be cool, though.
Paul's injury happened, as did Curry's sprained knee, in a brutally random way; his hand seemed to get caught in Gerald Henderson's shorts as Henderson attempted a dunk.
