He has an avulsion fracture in his thumb.  The regular season has 7 weeks left, so depending on how he heals, he may not play again till next season, though they expect him back at least for the playoffs.

And yes he played in the all star game with the injury.  Not the smartest thing to do obviously.

Wow, whoever draws Phoenix in the first-round will be in luck.

I dunno. I assume he’ll be back for the playoffs, and Phoenix should get home court against the 6-8 seed to tune him back up.

Not really, Unless he’s out for more than 8 weeks. Playoffs start 4/16, so that team will have to face a fresh CP3.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

They obviously aren't going to win at an .800 pace, but I'm not really sure they won't still win at a .600 pace, which may very well keep them as the 1 seed out west.
