Report: Clippers sign Paul to 1-year, $3.6M contract
The Los Angeles Clippers are signing veteran guard Chris Paul to a one-year, $3.6-million contract, reports NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Paul averaged 8.8 points, 7.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 steals with the San Antonio Spurs last season.
An 11-time All-NBA selection, Paul played for the Clippers from 2011 to 2017, finishing top seven in MVP voting in his first five campaigns and making the All-Defensive team every year. He's the franchise leader in assists (4,023).
Paul left the Clippers in 2017 in a trade to the Houston Rockets, where he spent two seasons paired with James Harden. The duo will reunite in Los Angeles.
The upcoming season will be Paul's 21st year in the NBA. The 40-year-old is one of 11 players in league history to appear in 20 campaigns, joining LeBron James as the only other active player to reach the milestone.
Paul hasn't played in the playoffs since 2023 with the Phoenix Suns. The Clippers finished fifth in the Western Conference and were eliminated in the first round by the Denver Nuggets last season. Paul has yet to win an NBA title.
The future Hall of Famer is the latest addition for the Clippers, who have signed guard Bradley Beal and center Brook Lopez and acquired forward John Collins this offseason.
