Suns guard Chris Paul a game-time decision for Game 4 vs. Lakers with shoulder injury

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul will be a game-time decision for Sunday's Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a shoulder injury, head coach Monty Williams said, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times. 

Paul suffered a right shoulder contusion in Game 1 last weekend while trying to defend Lakers star LeBron James. 

The 32-year-old played in Games 2 and 3, but did not spend nearly as much time on the court. In Game 2, Paul played almost 23 minutes and in Game 3 he played a little more than 27 minutes as compared to his 36 minutes in the series opener.

Paul is averaging 6.7 points, four rebounds and 6.3 assists while shooting 38.1% from the field in three games. He has only made one three-pointer. 

The Lakers lead the series 2-1 and the Suns will need Paul in the lineup if they have any hope of tying things up on Sunday.
