Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns are two wins away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 1993. They own a 2-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals against the Clippers heading into Game 3 in Southern California Thursday evening.
That’s the good news. Now, want some better news? Paul will return to the court for this game against his former team after missing the first two matchups due to the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols. This information comes to us via the official NBA injury report heading into the game.
To say this is huge news for the Suns would be an understatement. The 36-year-old Paul has been absolutely brilliant in his first season with Phoenix. Thus far in the playoffs, he’s averaging 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists despite dealing with a shoulder injury.
