LOS ANGELES (AP) Chris Paul has been cleared by doctors and could be back in the Los Angeles Clippers’ lineup on Thursday at Golden State.
Coach Doc Rivers said Wednesday that Paul ”looked great” in practice a day earlier and the only remaining hurdle is how comfortable Paul feels after another practice.
Paul has been out since Jan. 16 after tearing a ligament in his left thumb. The original timetable was six to eight weeks, so the star point guard could return slightly ahead of schedule.
Paul’s presence would restore the Clippers’ lineup, which has been missing either him or Blake Griffin at times this season.
The Clippers come out of the All-Star break on a four-game winning streak. After playing the West-leading Warriors, they host San Antonio, which has the second-best record in the Western Conference.
