Chris Paul: 'Not probable' for Thursday

Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Wednesday that neither Paul (groin) nor J.J. Redick (back) are probable for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Dan Woike of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Rivers' interesting choice of language would seem to imply that both players are questionable, at best, for Thursday's contest, but clarification on the status of either Paul or Redick isn't expected to come until the Clippers' morning shootaround the day of the game. Paul, who wasn't a full participant in the team's most recent practice Tuesday, said that he was feeling improvement with his right groin, but it's too early to tell if the Clippers' medical staff will give him the green light to play.
