On January 6, Chris Paul suffered a broken hand. Having undergone surgery, the leader of the Golden State Warriors missed 21 matches. An additional blow in the already complicated season for the Californians.
But last night, the ex-Houston Rockets player made his comeback. With a victory against the Washington Wizards (123-112). And as before his injury, CP3 once again showed a very interesting face coming off the bench.
In 22 minutes, he compiled 9 points and 6 assists with the second best differential of the game: +17.
“It was really nice to go out on the pitch and play again. It’s difficult. So we had to work hard. This is my fifth hand operation. ASo I’m probably even more grateful to all the people who helped me get back on the field.
It’s just one match. We still have a lot of work to do, as a team and collective. We have so much depth and so many different ways to play that it might take us a while to figure it all out.
But it is obvious that we will achieve it and that we will win at the same time.” told Chris Paul at ESPN.
Rare satisfaction for the Warriors on a delicate start to the season, he now returns to a team which is gaining strength. And with his impact as a backup, Chris Paul still has a major role to play in Golden State’s immediate future.
