Phoenix Suns level guard Chris Paul exited Friday night time’s sport in opposition to the Miami Heat with hip soreness and won’t return.
Paul was subbed out with 4:58 remaining within the second quarter and wasn’t on the ground to begin the third quarter. Damion Lee began in his place.
Paul, 37, had 5 factors, one help and one steal in 12 minutes earlier than departing.
Paul’s harm comes at a time when star guard Devin Booker (groin) missed his sixth straight sport and can miss roughly three extra weeks.
Paul, a 12-time All-Star, entered the competition with averages of 13.4 factors, 8.6 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 25 video games.
Tyler Herro (again) sat out for the Heat.
