Only Three Clippers Reportedly Attended Chris Paul’s Halloween Event

The episode highlights the disconnect that led Los Angeles to cut ties with the veteran guard.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne said roughly three players showed up, naming Brad Beal and Ivica Zubac among the few attendees.
  • The gathering was held in a club inside the Intuit Dome for players and staff as a culture-building effort, according to the reporting.
  • Clippers president Lawrence Frank later praised Paul for organizing the event despite the sparse turnout, per Shelburne.
  • Los Angeles announced on Dec. 3 that it was parting ways with Paul after 16 appearances, with reports citing friction over his leadership approach; Paul has since said he is “at peace.”
  • Separate reports said head coach Tyronn Lue declined a meeting request and assistant Jeff Van Gundy confronted Paul on a team flight in the days before the split.
