Paul was injured on January 27 against Golden State, then aggravated the injury when he crashed into a camera while chasing down a wayward pass in a game two days later.
Paul averages a team-high 20.4 points and an NBA-best 11.2 assists.
The Hornets are two games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference standings.
