Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul is no longer on a minutes restriction after suffering from a strained left hamstring.
Paul sustained the injury in game seven against the San Antonio Spurs in their first-round playoff series earlier this month, and struggled moving into the Houston Rockets series.
"I always worry because you're one step away," coach Doc Rivers told reporters after their loss on Tuesday night.
"There is no minute restriction, per se. I didn't like how he played or any of us played. I thought we played with no pace, basically the entire game."
The Clippers star is no longer listed on the team's injury list and will start game six, with Rivers conceding that he will keep a close eye on him.
