Clippers shockingly part ways with Chris Paul
Clippers waive veteran point guard
The Los Angeles Clippers have surprised fans by waiving Chris Paul, who rejoined the team this summer as a free agent. The move came suddenly and the franchise said it will work with Paul on the next step of his career.
What’s next for Paul
Paul spent some of his best years in Los Angeles from 2011 to 2017, and he returned this season hoping to finish his career with the Clippers after stops with the Rockets, Thunder, Suns, Warriors and Spurs. He reacted on social media, posting that he was “going home.”
At 39, Paul is expected to look for another team that gives him a chance to chase his first NBA championship ring in what could be his final season. Teams in need of veteran leadership and playmaking may be monitoring his availability as he explores options.
