Hornets point guard Chris Paul will not play in tonight’s game against the Timberwolves.
The Associated Press on the Hornets game at Memphis last night:
Paul was limping late in the third period after twisting his right
ankle when he rolled it after stepping on Gasol’s foot. He went to the
locker room between the third and the fourth quarters to have it
retaped before returning with 7:43 left in regulation. He was limping
noticeably in the locker room after the game.

"It’s his right ankle and he has some swelling in there. It’s still
tender and in some pain. There’s no reason in the eleventh game of the
season to risk it. We’re going to sit him down for a few games and see
how it feels. In my mind (he’ll miss a few games)."
