The All-Star break has officially come to an end, and now it is time for the Suns to return to the basketball court. They currently stand at 48-10 with 24 games left to go in the regular season. Playoff basketball is right around the corner, and now is the time to get HYPE. Sadly, this episode largely revolves around the Chris Paul injury. While this is terrible news, sometimes there can be good within the bad. CP3's absence will allow the Suns to take an extended look at Aaron Holiday, and will allow some extra space for Cameron Payne and Landry Shamet to return to playing form after missing significant time with injuries. Following the injury news, I provided an All-Star recap.
