Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:55:19 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Chris Paul has come off the bench for the first time in his NBA career.Paul entered Golden State’s game at Houston on Sunday as a substitute, checking in with 6:58 left in the first quarter. He started the first two games of the season but was out of Sunday’s lineup because Draymond Green — who had been sidelined — returned from an ankle injury.Since the NBA began tracking games started in 1982, no player had appeared in more games and started them all than Paul had entering Sunday. Including playoffs, Paul started the first 1,365 games of his NBA career.The question — would Paul start or not? — has followed the Warriors since they acquired the 12-time All-Star and member of the NBA’s 75th anniversary team this past summer. Paul has said he wants to start; Warriors coach Steve Kerr has said that he considers Golden State a team that has six starters.The 38-year-old Paul — the NBA’s third-oldest player to appear in a game this season, behind only the ...

PHOENIX (AP) — Jace Peterson was standing in Arizona’s dugout before the ninth inning when Tommy Pham walked up and told his teammate to hit for him when his spot came up.Pham said he didn’t know he could have become the first player to go 5 for 5 in a World Series game and added he didn’t care.“Me and Jace are cool, man. I had to get my dog in,” Pham said Sunday before the Diamondbacks worked out at Chase Field with the Series against the Texas Rangers tied 1-1.Pham went 4 for 4 with a pair of doubles in the Diamondbacks’ 9-1 win Saturday night. He is 5 for 9 with a home run in the Series.Pham approached manager Torey Lovullo with the idea in the eighth inning after Arizona scored three runs to open a 7-1 lead.“Are you sure? One-hundred percent sure?” the manager recalled responding. “And I gave him some contingencies. I said, if it’s 7-1, that’s the only score I’ll allow it to happen. (If it’s) 7-2, lefty-righty, I’m going to reconsider it and I...
