Spurs' Chris Paul: Posts first double-double of season
Chris Paul notched 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 win over the Jazz.Paul's assist totals came tantalizingly close to double-digits in three of his first four games, but he finally broke the threshold in the decisive win. Despite his age, Paul will be in the upper echelon of assist production as long as he stays healthy, and he'll be a very valuable fantasy option if he can combine the dimes with good shot volume on a nightly basis.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Strikes deal with San Antonio
Chris Paul agreed Sunday with the San Antonio Spurs on a one-year deal worth at least $11 million, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.After being waived by Golden State shortly before the start of the free-agent moratorium period that began Sunday at 6 p.m. ET, Paul quickly found a new home with the rebuilding Spurs. In San Antonio, the 39-year-old may not see a major increase in the 26.4 minutes per contest he averaged with the Warriors in 2023-24, though he should benefit from a spike in the career-low 15.4 percent usage rate he handled now that he's part of a far more green Spurs backcourt rather than one that includes established All-Star talents in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The Spurs could elect to deploy a rough platoon of Paul and Tre Jones at point guard, which would enable rookie first-round Stephon Castle pick to begin his career in the more familiar off-ball role that he filled at UConn.
