Well, perhaps we jinxed him last week with the Taylor Swift-Rihanna analogies. No man can be that perfect.
And after playing pretty much flawless basketball over the season’s first few weeks, Chris Paul is now out indefinitely with a severe sprain in his ankle. That’s a bad injury, but it’ll be compounded when CP comes back a week early (at least) because that’s just how he gets down. He’s one of the most competitive players in the entire league, and even though his team’s already sorta out of contention and everyone would understand if he just hung out on Bourbon Street till Februrary, he’ll be back sooner than expected, and play the rest of the season on a kinda-bum ankle. It’s just the way he’s built.
Actual facepalm. Oof.
