Suns’ Chris Paul Could Return for Game 6 vs. Nuggets

Suns point guard Chris Paul is likely to remain out for Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinal series vs. the Nuggets, but could make a return in Game 6, per Shams Charania of The Athletic, via FanDuel TV.

Paul was originally listed out for one week after an MRI revealed he suffered a groin strain after Game 2. The series now tied at 2-all after each team won both of its home games.

Paul, 38, averaged 13.9 points and 8.9 assists in 59 regular-season games. He maintained those averages in the Suns’ first-round series win over the Clippers.

The Suns were able to win Game 4 behind 36 points apiece from shooting guard Devin Booker and forward Kevin Durant. You can follow along on our Suns page and Nuggets page.

“The Suns are preparing to be without him for Game 5 as well… I think the window for him to return from that groin strain is Game 6 potentially”@ShamsCharania with the latest on Chris Paul’s groin injury#RallyTheValley | #RunItBack pic.twitter.com/YevHxKE8R9
