Although Clippers guard Chris Paul has been back on the court with the team for more than a week, he’s still dealing with the aftereffects of surgery on his right thumb.

While Paul is cleared for contact, he’s still not 100 percent comfortable.

“The other night there were times I knew I could steal the ball, but I don’t want to take the risk,” Paul said. “Even though the doctors say I’m good and stuff like that, the hardest part is getting it through your head.”
