Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul suffered a right thumb avulsion fracture and will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks, the team announced prior to Sunday's All-Star Game in Cleveland.
Paul was seen during All-Star weekend wearing a soft cast on his hand. He suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets when he hit his hand on the Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate after passing the ball. He then earned two quick technical fouls for arguing with officials and was ejected from the game.
Paul was scheduled to have an MRI on Thursday morning, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
