Los Angeles Clippers G Chris Paul leaves game with thumb injury

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul left Monday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a sprained left thumb.

Paul went to the locker room in the second quarter and did not return for the second half.

Paul had eight points and six rebounds in almost 14 minutes.

Paul had missed four games (Dec. 30 through Jan. 4) with a sore left hamstring before returning Jan. 6 in a win against the Sacramento Kings. Paul's return sparked the Clippers on their current six-game winning streak heading into their matchup against the Thunder.
