NBA forming esports league with NBA 2K maker

Chris Paul will have a new experience in his 1,366th NBA game. Paul will come off the bench for the first time in his career.

With Draymond Green returning the Golden State Warriors, Paul will come off the bench against the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. Green is returning after missing the Warriors first to games due to a sprained ankle.

Kristaps Porzingis has reached the next phase in his recovery. As part of his rehab plan, Porzingis will be assigned to practice with the Maine Celtics at the Auerbach Center on Monday afternoon.

Porzingis will be recalled by the Boston Celtics following practice.

Porzingis underwent surgery in June to repair a torn retinaculum and dislocated posterior tibialis tendon. Porzingis was expected to miss five to six months.
