WASHINGTON — Chris Paul returned for the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards after missing 21 games with a broken left hand that required surgery. The 38-year-old point guard finished with nine points and six assists in 22 minutes in Golden State's 123-112 victory. Paul sparked big runs in the second and third quarters while leading the Warriors' second unit. Coach Steve Kerr said there was no minutes restriction for Paul, and he appreciated having the veteran on the floor. Kerr calls it "a luxury" to have Paul and Klay Thompson available off the bench.
