LA Clippers star point guard Chris Paul has a sprained left thumb and missed practice Sunday, but the team doesn't believe the injury is serious.
Clippers coach Doc Rivers told reporters Sunday that Paul will miss one of L.A.'s remaining two preseason games, saying "that tells you [the injury] is not that serious."
Paul suffered the injury during Saturday's practice when he "banged his hand," according to Rivers.
"Nothing broke of anything like that, but we'll wait and see," Rivers said.
The Clippers close out their preseason schedule with road games against the Utah Jazz on Monday and the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Rivers was uncertain which of the two games Paul will play in.
Paul, 31, broke a bone in his right hand during the Clippers' playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers and underwent surgery. The nine-time All-Star is expected to be ready for the Clippers' regular-season opener at Portland on Oct. 27.
