Chris Paul on the Mend

There’s no timetable set for his return, but there are encouraging signs for CP3 and the Hornets: “Three consecutive wins before Sunday night’s game against the Miami Heat is an indication the New Orleans Hornets could be heading in the right direction on the court. And the news is good off the court, as well. Injured All-Star guard Chris Paul now is walking without the aid of a hard, plastic boot that immobilized his badly sprained right ankle since the injury occurred Nov. 13 against the Portland Trail Blazers at the New Orleans Arena. Paul attended the team’s shoot-around Saturday morning at the Arena, and he was wearing a shoe at Saturday and Sunday night’s games.”
