Chris Paul who is the point guard of the Phoenix Suns will be ruled out for 6-8 weeks due to a thumb injury.
The Phoenix Suns are currently the 1st seed in the Western Conference heading into the all-star break.
CP3 and Devin Booker have formed a formidable duo in the back-court for Phoenix. They are by far the best team in the NBA currently.
The injury to Chris Paul can have a significant impact on the rest of the regular season for the Western Conference.
If Devin Booker is not able to lead this team alone until CP3 returns, the Golden State Warriors are breathing just below their neck. Which lead to them making a push for the No. 1 seed in the West.
The Golden State Warriors will have Draymond Green coming back in the team soon, who was out for a long period due to injury. He will galvanize the team for a strong push to end the regular season.
The Phoenix Suns were the Western Conference Champions last season as they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in the WCF and faced the Milwaukee Bucks in last year’s NBA Finals.
Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns were not able to win the NBA Championship but they announced to the world that they have arrived.
They have started this season in a way to prove to the people that last season was no fluke. He wants to prove that this young and talented team led by CP3 and Devin Booker is a legitimate powerhouse in the West.
It will be interesting to see how the Phoenix Suns will cooperate without Chris Paul as he is scheduled to be available around playoff time.
Chris Paul would be very gutted to have this injury at this point of the season when he was having a strong chance for the MVP award.
