On March 19, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Suns dueled against the Bulls. Paul is still sitting on the sidelines in casual clothes, and it is worth mentioning that he showed the progress of his right hand recovery on the sidelines, making people feel that the return has also entered the countdown.
On the 21st of last month, the Suns officially announced that Paul's right thumb avulsion fracture would be re-evaluated within 6-8 weeks. After that, Paul began to recuperate.
In an interview over the All-Star Weekend, Paul said of his hand injury, "In my career, I have had four surgeries on my hand, and now my hand doctors are my family, but my injury situation may get worse." I'm sure my teammates can stand up and hold the situation. ”
Without Paul, the Suns still have a good record and continue to lead the league. Paul's recovery was smooth, and now he no longer has to wear protective gear.
In this showdown with the Bulls, in the final moments of the third quarter, the camera was given to Paul, who was watching from the sidelines. Paul and Payne were seen chatting, and it looked like Payne was asking Paul for hand rehabilitation, when Paul was holding a tennis ball in his hand.
It is worth mentioning that Paul's right hand kept clenching and loosening, it seemed that his recovery was quite good, and Payne listened carefully to Big Brother's explanation, like a schoolboy.
Such a scene makes people feel that Paul should not be far from returning. According to the previous rehabilitation plan, Paul has the opportunity to make a comeback in the final few games of the regular season.
