It looks like Doc Rivers‘ post-Game 7 words were correct in regards to the health of Chris Paul: per the head coach, Paul will NOT play in Game 1 of Clippers-Rockets due to a lingering hamstring injury.
Unclear exactly when Paul will return, Rivers does believe the All-Star guard will return at some point during the series.
Doc says he does expect CP3 to play in this series.

This is bad news for the Clippers.
