The Phoenix Suns confirmed point guard Chris Paul would be out for Friday's action vs. the Orlando Magic. 

Paul played just 14 minutes in Monday's loss to Philadelphia before missing Wednesday's victory over Minnesota. He's currently dealing with right heel soreness. 

In his relief, Cameron Payne tallied 23 points, six rebounds and eight assists in 35 minutes of action. 

"Nah, I'm not that worried about it," Paul said after Monday. 

The Suns are set to play in Orlando on Friday before taking on the Heat in Miami on Monday. 

Could we see his return to action then? 

Phoenix clearly isn't worried about Paul's return, especially with the play of bench players such as Payne. Orlando's poor start to the season may have factored into the decision as well.
