Coming out of the All-Star break, the Suns will be tasked with trying to maintain the best record in the NBA without their floor general.
Chris Paul has an avulsion fracture on his right thumb and will be out for six to eight weeks, TNT's Allie LaForce announced during the All-Star Game broadcast. The 12-time All-Star still planned on briefly playing in Sunday night's game, with all other players aware of his injury.
Paul suffered the injury during Phoenix's last game before the All-Star break, when he jammed his thumb on a pass and was later ejected after receiving two technical fouls.
