Chris Paul is officially back, but his impact on the Los Angeles Clippers will still be limited – hamstring soreness not withstanding.
According to coach Doc Rivers, the Point God will start tonight’s Game 3 against the Houston Rockets but play under a minutes restriction.

Paul missed the first two games of the Western Conference Semifinals after straining his hamstring in Game 7 versus the San Antonio Spurs. Though the 30 year-old was extremely effective last Saturday following the injury, it’s possible his mobility could be even further compromised tonight.
We’ll find out soon enough. The Clippers and Rockets tip-off from Staples Center at 10:30 EST.
