Report: Chris Paul 'Trying His Best' to Play in Game 7 with Hamstring Injury

Scott PolacekMay 28, 2018

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul is reportedly doing what he can to be on the court Monday for Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against the Golden State Warriors.ย 

Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated quoted a Rockets source who said "heโ€™s trying his best" when discussing Paulโ€™s efforts to recover in time from a hamstring injury before Mondayโ€™s tip-off at the Toyota Center.

Paul didnโ€™t play Game 6, and the Warriors came roaring back from an early double-digit deficit to win 115-86. The point guard is trying to reach the NBA Finals for the first time in his career, and he suffered the injury during the closing stretch of Houstonโ€™s 98-94 win in Game 5.

The winner of Mondayโ€™s contest will face LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, which start Thursday on the home floor of the Western Conference representative.
