The Phoenix Suns will have to face the Denver Nuggets without Chris Paul due to a groin injury. The team's success in the Western Conference semifinals will depend on the ability of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant to step up their game, as well as the contributions of the bench unit.

Suns' Coach Monty Williams is Optimistic
This situation is not new for the Suns, who have experienced similar setbacks in the past, including blowing a 2-0 lead against the Mavericks in 2022 and losing the NBA Finals to the Bucks in 2021 after taking a 2-0 lead.
Devin Booker understands the challenge that the team faces without the Point God, saying that Paul serves as both the floor general and the leader of the team. He added that while they cannot replace his skills on the court, they will have to find other ways to fill the void he has left.
Paul's injury is serious enough to keep him out of games 3 to 5, and he will be re-evaluated next week, but Coach Monty Williams is optimistic that CP3 can return soon.
The Suns have labeled Paul as day-to-day with a left groin strain, giving some hope of an earlier return. Meanwhile, the team and fans must be patient while waiting for his recovery. Booker and the rest of the team know what they need to do in the meantime and will have to work even harder to overcome this setback and come out on top against the Nuggets.
