The Los Angeles Clippers have been taking the court without star point guard Chris Paul, who has been dealing with a separated shoulder. However, Paul was recently seen working out for the team and questions about his return began swirling.

Unfortunately for those hoping to see an immediate return from Paul, there is still no set date for his return.

From Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times:

"Chris Paul got in a good, strong workout before the Clippers played the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Paul got in a good sweat shooting jumpers and runners. He got in a good sweat running up and down the court after he shot….“No one said there were any changes or a deadline or anything,” Coach Doc Rivers said. “But he feels great. I still think it’s All-Star break, in that area. I don’t think that changed.“But he feels good. I know he’s shooting a little bit now. The fact that he can run and do the conditioning is great. But other than that, it still has to heal.”"

It will be interesting to see if the Clippers attempt to get Paul back on the court sooner rather than later or if they will decide to allow him to take his time and wait until the all0star break to return.

Los Angeles has been doing well even without Paul on the court, so getting him back will just be an added bonus at this point.
