Chris Paul reportedly will be evaluated in one week after suffering a groin injury in Game 2 of the Suns-Nuggets Western Conference semifinal series Monday night, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Paul suffered the injury with five minutes left in the third quarter of the game. While Phoenix held a 59-51 advantage, Paul attempted to box out Denver’s Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for a rebound. Immediately after the play, Paul was grimacing in pain.
He managed to run up the floor but had to leave the game and head to the locker room. As Phoenix awaits Paul’s re-evaluation in seven days, Charania reported that the Suns are preparing to be without the 12-time All-Star through Game 5 of the second-round series.
