US media reported that Phoenix Suns playmaker Chris Paul will have to take a break for six to eight weeks due to a thumb injury to his right hand, US media reported.
The experienced Phoenix Suns playmaker was injured in the game against the Los Angeles Clippers before the All-Star break.
“We have 48 victories and ten defeats. I know the guys will last without me. When I felt pain in my arm, I was furious for many reasons. We will not rush. “I will try to return to the field as soon as possible,” said Paul.
We have struggled with many things this season. We lost players due to injuries, things happened off the field, etc. It’s funny to think that you will pass the NBA season without obstacles. We don’t like it, but we are ready,” says Suns coach Monty Williams, and adds:
This is different, because it’s Chris. However, it is also an opportunity to strengthen the team, to give confidence to other guys in certain aspects of the game. “When he returns, we will be much better.”
Paul averages 14.9 points and 10.7 assists, making him the leader of the NBA league.
