For the Clippers who are a perfect 7-0 in the New Year this is a massive blow. Superstar Blake Griffin is already out with an injury of his own and with Paul out they will need some of their reserves to step up.

Austin Rivers, Raymond Felton and some of the other Clippers players will need to lead the offense. This injury also affects big man DeAndre Jordan. Jordan is the major beneficiary of Chris Paul’s masterpiece and now he will have to take the lead on and off the court.
