Clippers’ Chris Paul (thumb) undergoes successful surgery

He had left Monday’s game in the second half with a sprained left thumb and the follow-up X-rays showed the extent of the damage.

Here’s what you should know. “Hopefully, he’s going to be alright”. “I haven’t had the chance to text or call him, but it was a scary moment to see him go down”.

Chris Paul had just injured his left hand, and on his way off the court, his frustration was impossible to ignore. He came back shortly after their current winning streak began.

Paul will have the procedure on Wednesday to fix the torn ligaments, and it will be done by Dr. Steve Shin, the Clippers said.

As a team, the Clippers outscored the Thunder 62-to-34 in the pain over the course of the game. Doc Rivers said Griffin is progressing “great”, which means a return by month’s end is in play. Durant sat down with Anthony Slater of the Bay Area News Group on Tuesday to reminisce about his early years with the Thunder playing alongside Westbrook and Harden, which he referred to as “pure fun”.

This summer will raise questions about how much the Clippers value 50-win regular seasons and playoff appearances when it comes time to re-sign Paul, Griffin, and Redick. When healthy, they can challenge the San Antonio Spurs for the second seed in the West. Against the Clippers, Westbrook is averaging 27.0 points, 10.6 rebounds and 9.3 assists in their three contests. Just over 24 points per 100 possessions last season.

“We’re just clicking, all of us”, Jordan said. “It’s more defence. Our second unit has been incredible”. “… If Chris is out, we’ve learned it’s how hard we play”. If Paul is back in 6 weeks that would be March 1st against the Rockets.

“We didn’t move the ball and we were stagnant”, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. “We gave them opportunities”. It will also help that, surprisingly, Austin Rivers has been really good as a starting guard this season.

This season, Paul is averaging 17.5 points, 9.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game for the 29-14 Clippers. G Raymond Felton was 7 of 7 from the floor and scored 15 points.
