Good news, Hornets fans: Superstar point guard Chris Paul (notes) is no longer walking with the aid of a plastic boot on his injured right ankle. Word has it he also ditched Kuribo’s Shoe after completing World 5.

Paul attended his team’s shoot-around Saturday morning at the New Orleans Arena, and was seen wearing a tennis shoe or two at Saturday and Sunday night’s games.

He severely sprained his ankle 10 days ago against the Blazers.

"I still don’t know," Paul said of a timetable for his return, which has been left open-ended since the team announced results of an MRI exam that was performed on the ankle Nov. 14. "(Saturday) was my first day without the boot. As long as I’m walking, I’m good."

That said, Jimmy Smith of The Times-Picayune reports there is still a slight limp in CP3’s gait, so Hornets fans are encouraged to mail in all the 1-Up Mushrooms and invincibility stars they can.
