It was recently announced that NBA star Chris Paul will undergo surgery for a fractured left hand. The injury occurred during the Houston Rockets’ game against the Portland Trail Blazers on December 20th. Paul is expected to miss at least six weeks of action while he recovers from the surgery.
Paul has been a force in the NBA since he was drafted in 2005. He is a nine-time All-Star, and has been named to the All-NBA team eight times. He has also been named to the NBA All-Defensive team nine times, and is a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
The injury is a major blow to the Rockets, who are currently in third place in the Western Conference. Paul has been a key part of the team’s success this season, averaging 17.7 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.6 rebounds per game. His leadership and experience have been invaluable to the team.
The surgery is expected to be successful, and Paul should be able to return to action in time for the playoffs. In the meantime, the Rockets will need to find ways to make up for his absence on the court. It will be interesting to see how they adjust without their star point guard in the lineup.
Chris Paul’s injury is a major setback for the Rockets, but they are confident that he will make a full recovery and be back on the court soon. His presence on the court will be missed, but hopefully he will be able to return to action and help lead the Rockets to a deep playoff run.
