Chris Paul Excused From Media Day

At the Hornets media day, Chris Paul was excused from what is normally a mandatory event. With so much speculation and turmoil surrounding Paul and the Hornets, it seems as if the organization is allowing CP3 to step away from the spotlight to focus on basketball. According to Yahoo! News, “New Orleans Hornets officials say they’ve excused Chris Paul from a normally mandatory preseason media event. Hornets spokesman Dennis Rogers says the decision to keep the star guard away from Wednesday’s event at the New Orleans Arena was mutual. Paul has not spoken to reporters since reporting for training camp last Friday.”
