Chris Paul out for Game 6 with hamstring injury

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul will miss Saturday's Game 6 of the Western Conference finals at Golden State with a right hamstring strain, the team announced Friday.

Paul will be re-evaluated after the team returns to Houston.

Paul exited Houston's 98-94 Game 5 win over the Golden State Warriors in the final minute of Thursday's contest and received extensive postgame treatment, leaving the Toyota Center around midnight.

A 13-year veteran who is one win away from his first NBA Finals appearance, Paul reached for the hamstring after missing a runner in the lane with 51.
