Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul has insisted that he is "done feeling sorry" for himself after suffering a shoulder injury.

The 28-year-old sustained a separated right shoulder last week and is expected to be sidelined for between three to five weeks.

"I woke up yesterday and was done feeling sorry for myself. I got to approach the rehab and get back as soon as I can," he said, ESPN reports.

Darren Collison has been upgraded to starting point guard in Paul's absence, and he is averaging 8.6 points and 2.2 assists per game.
