The Los Angeles Clippers have made big improvements this offseason and that could leave one of their recent signings looking at some nights on the bench.

Veteran guard Chris Paul, a 12-time All-Star and 11-time All-NBA performer, has reached a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, per report.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania and several NBA outlets, the Clippers have signed future first-ballot Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul. Paul received interest from several other teams in free agency, and he was said to be seeking a starting role. In the end, he ends up back with the Clippers, where he spent six seasons from 2011-2017.

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young took to X to urge the Clippers to honor Chris Paul by retiring his No. 3 jersey.

The Los Angeles Clippers won 50 games last season, but saw their run come to an end after a seven-game series loss to the Denver Nuggets in the first round. Ins

The Los Angeles Clippers and Chris Paul have reunited. Earlier this week, the Clippers finalized a one-year, $3.6 million deal to bring back Paul. Unlike before, the veteran star won’t be the face of the franchise.

For most of NBA history, a series of signings like this would be business as usual for a win-now team built around a 34-year-old wing (Kawhi Leonard) and a primary playmaker who will turn 36 before the season starts (James Harden).
