Chris Paul Fractures Hand, Needs Surgery
11 months agoGolden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) was injured in Friday's win over Detroit and was ruled out after logging 24 minutes and finishing with eight points, six boards, and one block. Unfortunately, the team revealed that the 12-time All-Star suffered a fractured left hand and will undergo surgery next week. This isn't an ideal situation for Golden State, considering the team has also been without Draymond Green (suspension). At any rate, Paul has had his share of struggles in his first season with the Warriors, averaging a career-low 9.0 points. But his absence will at least open up minutes for others, with head coach Steve Kerr indicating Moses Moody would see more time at the one, meaning he's worth monitoring in all fantasy setups moving ahead. Regarding Paul, he can be dumped in re-draft formats, especially since it may be a while before he's back on the court.
