Chris Paul Signs Deal with Los Angeles Clippers

Chris Paul has reached an agreement to join the Los Angeles Clippers, marking his return to the team for his 21st NBA season, according to reports. The 12-time All-Star previously played with the San Antonio Spurs last season on a one-year, $10.9 million contract.

As an unrestricted free agent, Paul was highly sought after and ranked as one of the top point guards available, especially after Fred VanVleet re-signed with the Houston Rockets. Despite his age, Paul remains an effective floor leader and distributor, finishing last season with his healthiest campaign in years, playing in all 82 games for the Spurs.

Last season, Paul averaged 8.8 points per game—a career low—yet he continued to excel as a playmaker, posting 7.4 assists and just 1.6 turnovers per game. He shot efficiently from three-point range, with a 37.7% success rate on 4.5 attempts per game. On the defensive end, the veteran guard contributed with an average of 1.3 steals per game, maintaining his reputation as a tenacious defender.

While he may no longer be the prolific scorer he once was, Paul’s leadership, game intelligence, and experience make him a valuable asset. He remains a respected figure across the league, known for his impact both on and off the court.
