PHX Suns x Nuggets

Phoenix Suns' star point guard, Chris Paul, will miss the crucial Game 3 matchup against the Denver Nuggets due to a left groin strain that he suffered during Game 2. He had been considered doubtful to play in either of the Suns' first two home games in the series, and Suns' head coach Monty Williams confirmed that he did not do any on-court work in a team practice on Thursday. Kevin Durant, Suns All-Star forward, acknowledged that the team would miss Chris Paul, but they will focus on playing their game and playing together as a team.
