NEW ORLEANS (AP) -New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul will be out about four to six weeks after having arthroscopic knee surgery.
The team announced Thursday that Paul would start rehabilitating immediately and will be on crutches for two or three weeks.
He will miss the Feb. 14 All-Star Game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Paul was injured Jan. 27 against Golden State, then aggravated the injury when he collided with a camera while chasing an errant pass in the final seconds of regulation against the Chicago Bulls last Friday.
He is averaging a team-high 20.4 points and an NBA-best 11.2 assists.
New Orleans (26-23) is two games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
