Why now : Kings announced a clear and shocking news just now

Chris Paul of the Warriors will miss the remainder of the Kings game due to a worrying injury.
Due to a leg injury sustained against the Kings, Chris Paul, the star player for the Warriors, was forced to miss the NBA In-Season Tournament match.

Due to a leg injury, Chris Paul will not be able to play in the Golden State Warriors’ NBA In-Season Tournament match against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday.

Paul was spotted limping early in the second quarter of the showdown before the Warriors announced that he has left the game with lower left leg soreness. The team initially said his status was “To Be Decided” or “TBD,” though the Dubs eventually ruled him out.

CP3 played just five minutes off the bench for the Warriors, tallying three points on 1-of-2 shooting along with two steals.

Although the extent of Paul’s injury is unknown, it is usual for supporters to be concerned whenever a player is sidelined in the middle of the game and is unable to return.

In the upcoming days, more information regarding Chris Paul’s injury is anticipated, but expectations are high that the Point God won’t have to miss much time—if not all of it. Paul is already 38 years old, so it won’t come as a shock if the Warriors manage his injury cautiously.

Paul has been one of the better Warriors players despite Draymond Green’s problems and Klay Thompson’s setbacks. With an average of 9.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game coming into Tuesday’s game, he has been a pillar of the team. Beyond his contributions, CP3 has made a significant impact by accepting a bench role after always starting at the top of the court.

Hopefully, Paul’s injury isn’t serious and his exit against the Kings is just a precautionary measure to preserve his old body.
