NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Further tests on Chris Paul’s(notes) ankle show nothing beyond a
sprain, but there is no timetable for the star point guard’s return to the New
Orleans Hornets.
The team says an MRI confirmed the initial diagnosis. Paul twisted his left
ankle in the Hornets’ loss Friday night to Portland. Team spokesman Dennis
Rogers said Monday that Paul will be evaluated daily but remains out
indefinitely.

In 10 games this season, Paul has averaged 23.8 points and 9.2 assists.
The Hornets are 3-8 and have lost three straight and five out of six. That
span included the firing of coach Byron Scott and his replacement two games ago
by general manager Jeff Bower.
