Clippers' Chris Paul: Parting ways with Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers announced in a statement Wednesday that Chris Paul will no longer be part of the team, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.Paul had traveled with the Clippers to Atlanta in advance of Wednesday's game against the Hawks, but the team has since sent him back to Los Angeles and plans to part ways with the veteran point guard. Shams Charania of ESPN previously reported Nov. 22 that Paul is set to retire following the 2025-26 campaign, but he apparently won't be riding out his final season with LA. The Clippers are working with Paul to determine the next steps for his career, with waiving him and assuming the money remaining on his $3.63 million contract or agreeing to terms on a buyout both being possibilities. The Clippers could also look to trade Paul, though no deal could be executed until Dec. 15. With Paul out of the picture, the Clippers will likely turn to Kris Dunn and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) to handle point-guard duties when starter James Harden is off the court.

Clippers' Chris Paul: Will retire after season
Chris Paul is set to retire from the NBA following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.Paul opted to reunite with the Los Angeles Clippers on a one-year deal for his 21st season in the NBA. However, he has been in and out of the rotation to start the year, and the veteran point guard will hang up his shoes following the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign. Paul has been one of the most storied point guards in NBA history, having been named to 12 All-Star Games (including the All-Star Game MVP in 2013), 11 All-NBA teams (including four selections to the First-Team) and to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. The future Hall of Famer led the league in assists five times -- most recently for the 2022-23 season as a member of the Suns. He also led the league in steals six times.

Clippers' Chris Paul: DNP Wednesday
Chris Paul didn't see the floor Wednesday in the Los Angeles Clippers' 130-116 loss to the Nuggets.Paul was a healthy scratch for the third straight game after playing only 13 minutes per game leading up to this stretch. With injuries to Kawhi Leonard (ankle) and Bradley Beal (hip), there's a chance coach Tyronn Lue turns to the 40-year-old veteran, but for now, it seems Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders are getting a chance in the rotation, each logging 25-plus minutes for the first time Wednesday.

Clippers' Chris Paul: Set for uptick in minutes
Chris Paul is expected to see an increase in playing time Thursday night against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.The Los Angeles Clippers ruled James Harden out for Thursday's matchup due to personal reasons, which opens up the door for Paul to receive more opportunities. He's had a tough time finding ways to make an impact behind both Harden and Kris Dunn, averaging 2.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 13.4 minutes over his first seven appearances of the season. Paul should have a chance to log a season high in minutes in Phoenix.

Clippers' Chris Paul: Drops 10 dimes in victory
Chris Paul posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 assists, a rebound and a steal across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 109-91 preseason win over the Kings.Paul will likely end his career with the Los Angeles Clippers, where he made his name as one of the NBA's best point guards in the modern era.
