Chris Paul Still on Clippers Roster as Trade Deadline Nears

Sources say there has been no substantial progress toward a trade before Thursday’s deadline.

Overview

  • ESPN reports Paul's locker remains saved and lit at the Clippers' arena, reflecting that he is still technically on the roster.
  • The team announced nearly two months ago that it had parted ways with Paul, yet no transaction has followed.
  • An initial delay stemmed from NBA rules preventing trades of newly signed players until Dec. 15.
  • Paul has been training and is prepared to play immediately if he is traded this week, according to the reporting.
  • Coverage indicates the Clippers do not plan to use Paul this season and appear willing to move him for minimal return.
