Clippers' Chris Paul: Does light shooting, dribbling

Paul (thumb) was able to do some light shooting and dribbling early last week, Dan Woike of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Paul still had his left thumb wrapped up after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligament in the finger Jan. 18. The Clippers have estimated that Paul will be sidelined until early-to-mid March, which would give him about a month's worth of regular-season games to gear up for the postseason. In the meantime, Austin Rivers will continue starting at point guard and play 30-plus minutes on a regular basis for the duration of Paul's absence.
