Houston Rocket's coach Mike D'Antoni says Chris Paul is questionable for Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.
Paul missed Saturday night's Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors because of a strained hamstring.
"I don't think he's tested it at all," D'Antoni says. "He's just getting treatment and trying to be sure it calms down. The doctors and our trainers are working on him 24 hours a day almost. They will tomorrow morning re-evaluate it again, probably tomorrow afternoon again."
"If I get the nod from the trainers, Chris and the doctors, then he'll be ready to go. Probably if any of those three disagree he's probably not going. I think it's a game-time decision... They will eventually test it and see if there's any possibility whatsoever... I think it's going good. We're not going to be coy with it. As soon as we know we'll say it. We'll play it by ear right now," D'Antoni says.
Paul was injured during Thursday night's Game 5 victory over the Warriors. The Rockets lost Saturday night's Game 6 to the Warriors 115-86. The series comes down to Game 7 at the Toyota Center on Monday night.
