Paul underwent successful surgery Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Sunday that Paul would miss at least 4-to-6 weeks, which still may be accurate, but the team will provide another update after three weeks. The veteran point guard fractured his left hand during Friday's win over Detroit, and his absence will be a significant blow to a team clinging to the final Play-In spot. In Paul's absence, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody are logical candidates for increased usage, but Cory Joseph could also work his way into the rotation. The Warriors are also expected to get Draymond Green (suspension) back soon.

Paul (hand) will undergo surgery next week and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Paul fractured his left hand during Friday's win over Detroit, and while it was known that he'd require surgery, it was initially unclear how much time the veteran point guard would miss. The Warriors are barely holding on in the playoff picture, so Paul's absence is a huge blow, but he should be able to return to form for the stretch run. In Paul's stead, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody are logical candidates for increased usage, but Cory Joseph could also work his way into the rotation. The Warriors are also expected to get Draymond Green (suspension) back soon.

Paul suffered a fractured left hand during Friday's win over Detroit and will undergo surgery next week, ESPN's Kendra Andrews reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a brutal blow for the Warriors and another unfortunate setback for Paul, as he's had several hand injuries during his NBA career. The Warriors haven't provided a timetable for a return, but there will likely be more clarity following the surgery. With Paul expected to be sidelined for a while, coach Steve Kerr mentioned after the game that Moses Moody could be more involved going forward. Other candidates to receive more playing time include Brandin Podziemski and Cory Joseph.

Paul will not return to Friday's game against the Pistons due to a left hand injury, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. He finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 24 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Paul's injury is to be determined, though he has a lengthy history of hand issues. Golden State's next game is Sunday against the Raptors, and Paul should be considered questionable for the time being. If he's forced to miss time, coach Steve Kerr could turn to Brandin Podziemski, Cory Joseph and Moses Moody to absorb Paul's minutes.

EDGE Analysis
Paul was flexing his hand in discomfort and walked to the back with the trainer. The Warriors have not provided an update, so it's unclear if he will return.

Paul is in the starting lineup to face the Mavericks on Saturday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Warriors haven't been playing well of late, and head coach Steve Kerr has decided to tweak the starting lineup, playing Paul alongside Stephen Curry in the backcourt. Paul is averaging 12.4 points, 8.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game when deployed in the starting unit.

Paul finished Thursday's 114-102 loss to Miami with nine points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Paul hasn't been great from the field all year, shooting just 39.7 percent overall and 31.0 percent from three, but he's in a profound slump lately. He's scored in double figures just once over the past seven games, averaging 6.1 points on 36.0 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from distance. The veteran has still operated well as a floor general during this stretch, with 8.4 assists to 1.6 turnovers per game, but he has just seven assists to four turnovers in the past two tilts. Paul's assist upside is too high for him to be dropped in standard fantasy leagues, but it seems like his days stepping up as a scorer are gone, especially since Golden State has needed an offensive punch all season.
