X-rays on Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul’s right hand were negative after Tuesday night’s Game 2 win against the Los Angeles Clippers, TNT reported.
The 12-time All-Star appeared to injure his hand while deflecting an inbounds pass by Russell Westbrook in the fourth quarter of Phoenix’s 123-109 victory, which evened the first-round playoff series at 1-1.
Paul, 37, shook out the hand after the Suns collected a steal on the play and was later seen examining his fingers on the sideline.
Paul finished the game with 16 points, eight assists and four rebounds in 38 minutes. He averaged 13.9 points, 8.9 assists and 4.3 rebounds during the regular season.
The Western Conference series resumes with Game 3 on Thursday night in Los Angeles.
