How long Chris Paul will be out with costly Warriors injury
NY Post
We now have a timeline for Chris Paul’s latest setback.
Paul fractured his left hand this week and had successful surgery, which ESPN reported Sunday will put him out for 4-6 weeks, customary for injuries of similar types.
Paul suffered the injury during the Warriors’ Friday night victory over the Detroit Pistons, and the timeline could potentially put Paul out through the All-Star break, which will be in mid-February; the game itself is on Feb. 18 in Indiana.
The 6-foot point guard, whom the Warriors acquired over the offseason as part of a larger trade notably involving Jordan Poole, is in his 19th season and will turn 39 years old in May.
The 12-time All-Star has had 11 hand surgeries in his career, including five on his left.
Paul has averaged 8.9 points, 7.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game as a Warrior this season, putting in 32 appearances and 11 starts along the way.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
