The NBA insider confirmed CP3’s return to the LA team despite the veteran having multiple options. However, Charania also said that next season will most likely be the Paul’s final season as an NBA player.

“Twelve-time All-Star Chris Paul has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, CAA’s Steven Heumann, Ty Sullivan and Jessica Holtz told ESPN. Paul had multiple suitors, but chose the contending Clippers and their shared history in L.A. for his likely final, 21st NBA season,” Charania wrote.

Paul will most likely not see starting minutes in his second stint with the team where he practically made a name for himself. However, fans can expect him to be a rotational player providing solid value off the bench and even starting in some games if James Harden is unavailable or out of form.

Chris Paul reveals that he has one more season to play in the NBA

Chris Paul is unarguably one of the greatest point guards to have stepped foot in the NBA. He is the true definition of a court general who has mastered the ability to thread unbelievable passes and control the tempo of a game. However, Paul is also one of the oldest players in the league, right alongside LeBron James.

Speculations about him retiring have been going around the community for quite some time, and now the 12-time All-Star has come out and announced a timeline for his remaining time in the league.

On his appearance as a guest on Jemele Hill’s Spolitics podcast on Jun. 26, Chris Paul announced that he has only a year left in his professional career.

"I have a year at most," Paul said. "I’ve been in the NBA for more than half of my life, which is a blessing, but you definitely don’t get those years back with your kids, with your family."

He revealed that he missed being with his uncle and aunts and being there for his grandmother, who watches all his games. So, he has decided to hang up his boots after the 2025-26 season and prioritize being with his family.
