The Golden State “Warriors” beat the Detroit “Pistons” with 113:109 in the previous match and with a record of 17-18 they occupy tenth place in the Western Conference. Paul started as a starter and not only had eight points, six rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes, but he also suffered a fractured left hand.
He will need surgery and is expected to recover in four to six weeks. Paul has already undergone five operations on his left hand and six on his right during his career. From the Phoenix Suns, Paul started 11 of 32 games this season and averaged 8.9 points, 7.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 fouls in 27.6 minutes. Paul averaged 13.9 points last season, the lowest scoring season of his career to date.
However, Green, who was suspended for an indefinite period after hitting Jusuf Nurkic, can return to the Warriors. Because the American complied with the league’s requirements and took the necessary steps to correct his behavior, the NBA reinstated him. This will result in Green’s official 12-game suspension, but ESPN estimates that Green will need another week to get back into shape and actually return to the field, potentially missing up to four more games. Green has started 15 games this season and is averaging 9.7 points, 5.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.4 turnovers in 25.1 minutes.
The Golden State Warriors host the Toronto Raptors tonight and conclude their seven-game home streak against the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday. Next is a trip to the Chicago “Bulls”, Milwaukee “Bucks”, Memphis “Grizzlies” and Utah “Jazz”.
