Paul to return for Houston after 17-game absence
Posted January 27, 2019 6:00 am
HOUSTON (AP) - Chris Paul will return for the Houston Rockets against the Orlando Magic after missing the last 17 games with a strained left hamstring.
The nine-time All-Star has been out since he was injured Dec. 20 in a loss at Miami.
Coach Mike D'Antoni said Paul's minutes will be limited initially and he hopes to keep him somewhere in the mid-20s on Sunday night.
The Rockets have done well in Paul's absence, going 12-5 behind the high-scoring of James Harden and some help from the addition of Austin Rivers, who started while Paul was out.
