Suns' Chris Paul in COVID-19 protocol, out indefinitely
Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul has entered the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and is sidelined indefinitely, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.
What It Means:
Shams says Paul's status for the start of the Western Conference finals is "up in the air" as the Suns wait to play the winner of the Los Angeles Clippers-Utah Jazz series. The NBA has not released the schedule for the Western Conference Finals. Cameron Payne would likely see the largest increase in usage if Paul is ruled out.
CP3 is averaging 36.5 FanDuel points per game this postseason. Payne played without Paul once during the regular season and put up 33.8 FanDuel points. The Clippers allowed the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to the point guard position during the regular season and the Jazz allowed the third-fewest.
