MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)—New Orleans point guard Chris Paul(notes), the Hornets’ leading
scorer, missed Saturday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies because of a
bruised left knee.
Paul averages 20.4 points and leads the NBA with 11.2 assists.
Paul hurt the knee at Golden State on Wednesday. Then, on the last play of
regulation Friday night against the Chicago Bulls, Paul chased an errant pass
when he went out of bounds striking a camera on the same spot he got injured two
nights earlier.
“It was based on how he felt today, this morning and on the way to the
arena,” New Orleans coach Jeff Bower said.
Darren Collison(notes) started in place of Paul.
“It’s just short term, day to day is the extent of it,” Bower said.
Also, reserve forward James Posey(notes) was out because of a strained right
Achilles’.
