Blow for Phoenix Sun after Chris Paul suffered injury in their loss against the Sixers.
Phoenix Sun player Chris Paul suffers an injury with right heel soreness in their loss to Philadelphia Sixers.
This was announced by the team during its 100-88 loss to the Sixers. Paul appeared to suffer the injury in the second quarter, when he ran into an off-ball screen on defense.
Paul left the game with two points and two assists in 13 minutes of action.
After the game Paul downplayed the severity of the injury, telling Duane Rankin of AZCentral, “I’m not worried about it.”
The Suns are already dealing with the absence of Jae Crowder (not with the team) and Cameron Johnson (meniscus surgery). Former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton also briefly left Monday’s game with what appeared to be an ankle injury before ultimately returning.
Phoenix is now 7-3, tied for second place in the Western Conference.
