PHOENIX – Phoenix Suns All-Star point guard Chris Paul is dealing with a right shoulder injury during his team's playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
The injury happened early in the second quarter when he bumped into teammate Cameron Johnson following LeBron James' tip-in basket.
He fell to the floor, appeared to be in substantial pain and was holding his right shoulder. Paul was down on the floor for a few minutes, surrounded by players from both teams.
The 11-time All-Star eventually got up and slowly walked to the locker room with a towel over his head. The Suns called the injury a right shoulder contusion.
