Re: CP3: Paul has a lengthy history of hand and finger injuries, including surgeries on his left and right thumb for ligament tears. He also suffered a fractured 3rd metacarpal in his right hand during the 2016 playoffs that ended his season and required surgery. 1/3 – 1:19 AM

Nuggets showing they’re not threatened by CP3. Put Joker on him at the top then got a steal my Murray who they thought was splitting the difference btw CP3 and Wiggins weakside. He baited Steph into that pass. Yikes what a finish – 12:31 AM

After a heady late clock double team of Murray, Podz with a rare flub on offense. First he missed a swing to CP for an open 3, then holds the ball all possession, missing an open Saric slipping to the rim before missing his own iso layup leading to Denver transition. – 12:00 AM

Podz is already a solid team defender, but he’s not ready to guard Jamal Murray. Problem is, the Warriors’ other option on him so far has been Chris Paul. – 10:49 PM

Steve Kerr made news after the last Warriors-Nuggets matchup, lighting into the league for “legislating” defense out of the game. He revisited that topic tonight.

More on this storyline
In his 19 seasons, Paul has had five surgeries to his left hand and six to his right. His departure comes after Draymond Green’s suspension ends. Green is expected to return to game action sometime next week, sources said. -via ESPN / January 7, 2024
Clutch Points: “I just feel for him personally because he does such an amazing job taking care of his body… Nobody sees the amount of hours he puts in… A freak play like that to sideline him is tough.” Steph Curry on Chris Paul’s broken hand 🤕 (via @NBCSWarriors) pic.twitter.com/toaODy15E2 -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / January 6, 2024
Paul is one of the Warriors’ best trade chips because of his expiring $30 million contract. Even though he’s played well for the Warriors, Golden State will still have to consider moving him if that’s the piece other teams want. The injury might keep him out past the Feb. 9 trade deadline. But it doesn’t figure to impact Paul’s value. -via The Athletic / January 6, 2024
