Nov 16 G Chris Paul's left ankle injury is merely a sprain, tests showed. There was no announcement regarding when he might be able to play again. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 16 Further tests on Paul's injured ankle revealed nothing beyond a sprain, but the Hornets still have no timetable for his return, the Associated Press reports. However, sources told Yahoo! Sports that Paul is expected to be on crutches for two weeks and could miss three weeks to a month.

Recommendation: No other outlets are reporting the same timetable as Yahoo, but confirmation may come later this week. The Hornets would only say that Paul will be evaluated daily and be out indefinitely. Darren Collison's fantasy value gets a further boost by this news, since he could be the starting point guard for the next month. Bobby Brown will also see time at point.

Nov 15 Paul is expected to be on crutches for two weeks and could miss three weeks to a month with a severely sprained left ankle, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Advice: There was no structural damage found in an MRI administered on Saturday, but the severity of the sprain pushed back the original belief on Friday night that Paul could return within one to two weeks.
