Chris Paul will miss third straight Thursday
Chris Paul - G - Los Angeles Clippers
Jan. 18, 2013 - 2:15 AM ET

Chris Paul (knee) will sit out Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

The news was entirely expected, despite Paul being listed as a game-time decision heading into Thursday's contest. The Clippers don't play again until Saturday, although his status for that game remains questionable since L.A.is smartly waiting until CP3 is 100 percent healthy. Eric Bledsoe will get the start again vs. the Wolves. He's averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.0 steals in two starts this season and continues to be a great spot start as long as Paul is out.
