Chris Paul has surgery on thumb

Chris Paul point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. 

Paul’s injury occurred last month in Las Vegas during Team USA’s training camp. Tuesday the surgery was preformed by Dr. Steven Shin a hand specialist at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles.

Approximately 8 weeks is the amount of time Paul is expected to miss which would mean that he most likely would return for the Clippers opener Oct. 31 against Memphis. –BEAR

Chargers loose Ryan Matthews 4-6 weeks

Starting running back Ryan Matthews will undergo surgery Friday morning for a broken collarbone. 

On his first carry of the preseason in the first quarter against the Packers Matthews suffered a broken collarbone. Matthews is undergoing surgery Friday morning and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

This is going to be a huge loss for the San Diego Chargers. Matthews ran for 1,091 yards and 6 touchdowns last season. Now Matthews is most likely to miss the beginning of the Season and when he returns we don’t no if he will be the same. He might never be the same and this could affect the Chargers greatly.
