NBA fans were graced by not too many big name injuries this season outside of a couple guys. In comparison, the 2014-15 season saw a litany of stars miss chunks of games for a number of reasons.
Now, in just a matter of days, we will be without two of the NBA’s top point guards. Stephen Curry suffered an injury over the weekend and it has been determined he will miss at least two weeks. Just one day later, during game four of the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers first round series, Chris Paul has suffered a broken hand that could sideline him for up to a month.

Third metacarpal fracture on right hand for Chris Paul. Won't return.

Ouch. We’ll see, but sports med doc tells me 3rd metacarpal fractures usually result in an average of 10 games missed even w/no surgery.

We’ll have more updates for you as they come.
