More player injuries surround New Orleans Hornets
As if the New Orleans Hornets didn’t have enough problems.
The most battered team in the league lost its premier player Tuesday night when point 
guard Chris Paul suffered a sprained right ankle.
The reigning NBA Rookie of the Year turned the ankle on a fast-break late in the first quarter of a 102-94 loss in Seattle.
The severity of the injury has yet to be determined, but Paul will certainly miss his next two games and probably more.
That’s not exactly thrilling news for a team already missing key players Peja Stojakovic (back surgery), Bobby Jackson (cracked rib) and David West (right elbow).
All three will remain out for at least a month, with Stojakovic not scheduled to return until March.
Paul is leading the team at 18.9 points and nine assists a game. Injuries have played a huge role in the Hornets losing eight of their last 10.
The Hornets will be without Paul on Saturday night at home vs Allen Iverson and the Denver Nuggets. They will surely be underdogs by Bodog.com.
NBA Betting Tips: The Bulls still haven’t proven stingy enough on that end of the court. Until they do, don’t wager big bucks on an NBA crown.
