Am I missing something or should it be a bigger story that Chris Paul was just benched in the final 6 minutes of crunch time in the very first game of the season?

Suns lead a furious comeback all throughout the 4th quarter of the game last night. Paul only played 30 minutes and wasn’t in foul trouble. He left the game with 6:41 left and never returned. The Suns went on to complete the comeback and win the game on a Damion Lee fadeaway.

Obviously the decision worked, but I can’t remember someone who’s still considered a star being benched like that in GAME 1 of the season. Chris Paul made All NBA 3rd Team LAST YEAR.
