Suns' Chris Paul (health protocols) ruled out for Game 1 Sunday
Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul is listed as out Sunday for the team's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Paul was placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols earlier in the week, and after the Clippers beat Utah in six games to move up the start of the Western Conference Finals, the veteran point guard has officially been declared out. Cameron Payne should be in line for a start on the wing.
In 10 games this postseason, Paul has averaged 15.7 points, 8.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals.
