Steve Kerr Revealed Chris Paul’s Impact In His Return From Injury
Chris Paul, who has been out of the Golden State Warriors lineup for the past two months due to a wrist injury, is about to return, which poses a logistical challenge for coach Steve Kerr in terms of player minutes. After the veteran point guard’s recent loss to the Denver Nuggets, Kerr made hints about his plan for reintroducing him into the starting lineup.
Remarking that Paul will mainly take non-Stephen Curry minutes, Kerr acknowledged the difficulty in allocating playing time among a great group. In an attempt to lighten Curry’s workload, he did allude to Paul and Curry teams occasionally.
“Upon his return, Chris will play every minute that isn’t played by Steph and will also accompany Steph on the field.” “When Chris is playing, it’s simpler for us to pull Steph off the ball and relieve some of his wear and tear because he doesn’t have to confront pressure or anything like that.”

When can we expect Chris Paul to play again?
A pivotal point for the Warriors is Paul’s expected comeback during the next road trip against the Washington Wizards, New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors, and Boston Celtics. Paul had alternated between starting and sixth man duties with the team in the past.
Given Curry’s growing workload and the Warriors’ hopes for postseason success, Steve Kerr intends to keep Paul off the bench for the time being, which emphasizes the mystery surrounding the effect of Paul’s return on the team dynamic.
