PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- Clippers point guard Chris Paul could return from a
thumb injury as soon as Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors,
according to coach Doc Rivers.
Doc Rivers說CP3可能可以回到場上,打明天對勇士的比賽
The nine-time All-Star tore a ligament in his left thumb on Jan. 16 against
the Oklahoma City Thunder and underwent surgery two days later.
"He looked great. He went through the whole practice [on Tuesday]. You know,
so it was good. Really good," Rivers said before practice on Wednesday. "He
could play tomorrow. I mean, I can't tell you if he will or not, but he's
been cleared medically. But we just want to make sure that he's comfortable
playing."
星期三的練習前,Rivers說"他看起來不錯,他參加了整個星期二的練習,這真的很棒"
"他明天可以打,我的意思是我還不能說他會不會打,不過隊醫已經允許了,我們只是要
確定他能不能打"
Paul was initially expected to miss six to eight weeks while rehabilitating
the thumb. Wednesday marks the fifth full week since the surgery.
"I don't even know ... are we in the target date of return? Is it early? Oh,
well, great! I just know he looked good yesterday," Rivers said. "We'll see
more today and see where we go from there.
"Because it's a hand and you gotta be comfortable with that," Rivers
elaborated, suggesting comfort level will likely dictate Paul's return. "I
mean, I had the same injury ... it's not an easy injury because you're just
reluctant to play, you know? A guard uses his hands, he reaches. I thought
overall he was pretty aggressive, but it was clear as practice went on he got
more and more aggressive. In the first half, he wouldn't even play with the
starters. By the end of the practice, he was back playing with the starters.
So, I thought it was good for him."
The Clippers star has missed 13 games so far as a result of the thumb injury.
He also missed seven games earlier in the season due to a strained left
hamstring. Paul was enjoying another stellar season, averaging 17.5 points
and 9.7 assists per game on 61.1 percent true shooting. He ranks first in
Real Plus-Minus at 8.99 and sixth in player efficiency rating at 27.31.
"Thumb is getting better," Paul said before practice on Wednesday. "I'm
excited to get out here and practice."
CP3星期三的時候說"我的拇指已經好很多了""我已經等不及要去練習了"
When asked if he felt an urgency to return quickly given that the Warriors
and San Antonio Spurs are the Clippers' next two opponents, Paul expressed
more caution.
如果問他說他有沒有急著對上勇士跟馬刺
"Nah, it can't. It can't," Paul said. "It's more so about my thumb, you know.
I don't want to be out there hurting the team. That's my biggest thing."
CP3說"不!我不行""真的就只是我的拇指,我實在不想拖累球隊"
When pressed to say what hurdles would have to be cleared for Thursday, Paul
reiterated that opponent or schedule would not dictate his return. "The
process makes the decision on its own," he said. "Myself, along with our
training staff, we're gonna figure it out."
The Clippers' starters have played only 23 games together this season as
Paul, JJ Redick and Blake Griffin have all missed time because of injury. But
according to NBA.com, the team has ranked as one of the top starting units in
the league when healthy with a net rating of 16.2, second only to the
Warriors
我真的很想讓CP3 100%好再回到場上,不過讓他上場打一下做一下復健倒是好主意
