Chris Paul appears to possibly “strain” his left adductor (groin) on this play. Typical healing time is as follows
Tightness: Day to day
Grade I: 7-10 days

With Paul officially out we can look for role player Cameron Payne to take an even bigger step as a starter in the lineup tonight. We also might see a more aggressive Suns team down the stretch of this game on offense with the tempo expected to be played at a much faster pace with Payne in the lineup.
Let’s see if the Suns can win tonight to get Paul more time to heal so he can get back on the court and so they can get back in this series.
