Suns guard Chris Paul has missed the last 15 games due to a thumb fracture, but he is listed as probable for Thursday night’s game vs. the Nuggets.
This is good news for Phoenix, as they originally expected Paul to be out until the end of the regular season. Now, the number one team in the West Conference will have their number three points scorer back for the last couple weeks of the season.
Paul injured his right thumb in a game vs. the Rockets right before the All-Star break. After making a brief appearance in the All-Star game in mid-February, Paul hasn’t returned to the court.
