Chris Paul to Rejoin Clippers for His Likely Final NBA Season

The 40-year-old former All-Star opted for a homecoming in Los Angeles to chase his first NBA championship with the franchise he starred for from 2011 to 2017.

Overview

  • ESPN announced on July 21 that Paul has signed with the Clippers, marking his return after a full season with the Spurs.
  • He turned down multiple offers from other NBA teams to prioritize a title pursuit and stay close to family in Los Angeles.
  • Last season in San Antonio, Paul played all 82 regular-season games at age 40 but saw the Spurs fail to reach the playoffs.
  • Paul’s resume includes 12 All-Star selections and Olympic gold medals in 2008 and 2012, though an NBA championship remains elusive.
  • His homecoming bolsters a deep Clippers backcourt that features recent addition Bradley Beal alongside James Harden and Bogdan Bogdanović.
