Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni was unsure of the point guard's status for Game 6. "He'll be evaluated (Friday)," he told reporters postgame, according to Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated. "They'll do whatever they can do. If he's there (for Game 6), great, good for him. ... His spirits aren't great. He wanted to be out there."

D'Antoni added that if Paul is unable to play in Game 6, Eric Gordon will take on his playmaking duties next to James Harden, ESPN's Marc J. Spears reports.
