The Phoenix Suns will finally get their star point guard back on Wednesday when they take on the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. Chris Paul has finally cleared the league's health and safety protocols and has been confirmed for Game 3 — excellent news for the Suns, no doubt.

CP3 was forced to spend a couple of weeks at home to quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19 shortly after the Suns' second-round sweep of the Denver Nuggets. The All-Star point guard recently opened up about how he spent his time in isolation as well as the best moment he had while in quarantine — and no, it wasn't even Deandre Ayton's epic game-winning alley-oop on Tuesday (h/t Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports):

Paul absolutely loved that Ayton buzzer-beater, but based on his own admission, he puts more value on the opportunity to watch his young daughter play in her first basketball game. The fact that she hit a game-winner too is just icing on the cake for the entire Paul household.

So you see CP3's time in quarantine wasn't all that bad. He may not have been with the Suns for an extended period, but he was able to spend some much-needed quality time with his family at home. Phoenix took care of business too with their talisman sidelined as they took a commanding 2-0 lead over the Clippers.

With Chris Paul back in action for the Suns in Game 3, they will now look to score another win in the series. If the Suns are able to steal at least one game in Staples Center, then you definitely have to like their chances to advance to the NBA Finals.
