LOS ANGELES _ Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul didn't practice Sunday after he sprained his left thumb during Saturday's practice.
The Clippers said Paul will be listed as day to day.
Coach Doc Rivers said Paul, who wore black tape around his hand and thumb that could be seen by the media before practice Sunday morning, "banged his hand" during practice Saturday.
Rivers quickly pointed out that the injury wasn't to the right shooting hand Paul had surgery on after it was broken in the playoff series against Portland last April.
"Nothing broke, or anything like that," Rivers said. "We'll wait and see."
The Clippers have two exhibitions left, Monday at Utah and Tuesday at Sacramento, before the regular season opens.
"He'll definitely play in one of the two (games)," Rivers said. "So that tells you it's not that serious. We're just not sure which."
