According to Chris Haynes, Toronto Raptors guard Chris Paul has announced his retirement from the NBA after 21 seasons. Paul was waived by the organization after being acquired during the trade deadline. The veteran guard already announced that he's retiring after the season, but he has decided to step away now after being released. Paul was hopeful to retire as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, but that didn't work out as planned. He'll finish his career as a 12-time All-Star, 11-time All-NBA point guard, and with nine All-NBA defensive team honors. He'll certainly be a Hall of Famer and will be missed from the game of basketball.

Veteran guard Chris Paul is being traded to the Toronto Raptors in a three-team deal, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Paul, however, won't be required to report to the team, and the Raptors will explore further trade scenarios. The Raptors escape the luxury tax by sending Ochai Agbaji and a second-round pick to the Nets as part of the deal. The 40-year-old Paul hasn't played since early December, when he and the Clippers parted ways. He is averaging 2.9 points and 3.3 assists per game this season, both career-low marks, so there may not be a buyer for his services at the trade deadline.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paulis no longer with the team as the organization prepares to part ways with the veteran, ending his limited backup role and creating a modest opening in the rotation. Paul averaged 3.8 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across his last five outings in 13.4 minutes, so the fantasy ripple is minimal. Kris Dunn should continue seeing steady guard minutes and remains the only viable streamer, offering assists and steals. Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) may absorb some second-unit usage once healthy, but he is best treated as a deep-league stash.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul may stick around in the NBA for a few more years. Paul, who turned 40 in May, told ESPN's Malika Andrews that he wants to "enjoy" the upcoming campaign and doesn't know if it will be his final season in the National Basketball Association. At the same time, Paul definitely won't have the same impact he had on the Clippers during his first stint. He isn't guaranteed to receive regular playing time in his 21st year in the league, which will really hurt Paul's fantasy value. But it's going to be exciting to see the legendary guard still in action, perhaps even beyond the 2025-26 season.

los Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul will reportedly only be a bit-part player with the team next season. "From what I understand, he's not gonna have guaranteed playing time," ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported. "There are going to be nights where James Harden and their backup Kris Dunn get the minutes at point guard, and Chris Paul might not play at all, which is what we have not seen from him before." Windhorst added that Paul "understands" the situation. While it's intriguing to see Paul back with the Clippers, he won't be very valuable in standard fantasy formats without a regular role in the rotation.

According to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, free agent guard Chris Paul has reached an agreement to return to the Los Angeles Clippers on a one-year, $3.6 million deal on Tuesday. The future Hall of Famer is once again on the Clippers roster, having previously spent six seasons with the franchise. Paul has since played forthe Rockets, Thunder, Suns, Warriors, and Spurs. Last season with the Spurs, the 40-year-old saw action in all 82 regular-season contests, posting averages of 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1.3 steals across 28 minutes per contest. Paul appears to have some gas left in the tank, and he could have more than a few strong fantasy showings during the 2025-26 season, suiting up alongside veterans Kawhi Leonard and James Harden.

According to Los Angeles Clippers president of basketball operations, Lawrence Frank, the team is reportedly contemplating signing free-agent guard Chris Paul. "What I'd say about Chris is he's a great player," said Frank. "He's a great Clipper. Of course, we're strongly considering him." The 40-year-old has been in the National Basketball Association for two decades. Throughout his time in the league, he's suited up for the Pelicans, Rockets, Thunder, Suns, Warriors, and Spurs. Paul also spent time with the Clippers, where he arguably had the best stretch of his career. Paul, who averaged 8.8 points, 7.4 assists, and 1.3 steals with San Antonio in 2024, appears to have some gas left in the tank. While he could have more than a few strong fantasy showings during the 2025 campaign, his All-Star days are presumably well behind him. That won't change regardless of where he signs this offseason.

San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul (thumb) will suit up against Utah on Thursday. He's dealing with a left thumb injury but will be ready to play through it, with the team upgrading him from probable to available. After initially struggling in his new surroundings, Paul has performed well lately and is nicely set up for success on Thursday. San Antonio remains without Victor Wembanyama (knee) and Devin Vassell (knee), giving Paul more offensive responsibilities, while the Jazz tend to have a tough time against opposing point guards.

San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul (thumb) is expected to remain in the lineup on Thursday versus Utah, with the team listing him as probable for the game. The veteran floor general hurt his left thumb against Oklahoma City but was able to finish the contest. It looks like it's not a very serious injury, and Paul will be good to go for Thursday's juicy matchup -- only Chicago and Washington have allowed more fantasy points to opposing points guards than Utah. Paul has bagged three double-doubles in his last five appearances, averaging 10.7 points and 8.5 assists for the season.

Per Michael C. Wright of ESPN, San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul will make his preseason debut on Wednesday after signing a one-year, $11 million contract with the team in the offseason. Paul's production has dipped significantly after being in the league for almost 20 years. He played in 58 games for Golden State in last year's campaign, averaging 9.2 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.2 steals. The 39-year-old's presence will be essential for the development of center Victor Wembanyama and the other young players on the team.

Free agent guard Chris Paul will sign a one-year, $11 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs. After being in the league for nearly two decades, Paul's production has dipped significantly. He appeared in 58 games for the Warriors last season, finishing with averages of 9.2 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.2 steals. While the 39-year-old likely won't be a consistent producer for the up-and-coming Spurs, his presence will be invaluable for the development of reigning Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama and the rest of the young players on a team hoping at least to earn a Play-In bid in 2024-25.

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul has agreed to push back the date to his $30 million guaranteed contract for the 2024-2025 season. The veteran guard will push back the date until late Sunday night. Doing that gives the Warriors a chance to explore trade partners for the All-Star guard. Paul certainly isn't in his prime anymore, but he can still contribute to an NBA roster. He should still be able to be a viable fantasy option depending on what team decides to pick him up.

Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul has been linked with a move back to Los Angeles. NBA insider Marc Stein believes that Paul would draw interest from both the Clippers and Lakers if he hits free agency. However, he adds that interest in bringing him to the Lakers "might not be unanimous within the organization." The suggestion of Paul reuniting with the Clippers definitely raises a few eyebrows as well, especially if James Harden and Russell Westbrook stick around. Paul has a non-guaranteed $30 million contract for next season, and he would become a free agent if Golden State doesn't guarantee the contract by June 28. The 12-time All-Star remains a big name in the NBA, but his numbers have been declining for several years. Paul provided only 9.2 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.2 steals to fantasy managers off the Warriors bench in 2023-24. A starting role away from San Francisco could give his numbers a boost.

Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul is expected to remain with the team next season by head coach Steve Kerr. "I really hope we bring him back next year," Kerr said following Tuesday's 118-94 loss in the play-in tournament against Sacramento, which ended Golden State's season. It also ended Paul's run of 13 consecutive playoff appearances. The veteran, who will turn 39 next month, found himself as a bench piece for the first time in his career in 2023-24 and finished with career-low numbers in multiple areas. He had 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.2 steals across 26.4 minutes. Paul has a non-guaranteed $30 million contract for 2024-25.

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Paul fully practiced last Wednesday and will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday following nearly two months on the shelf due to a fractured left hand. Likely facing minutes restrictions in his first matchup back, CP3 won't be a recommended DFS option, but the Wizards are giving up the most points per game (124.2) in the league.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr says guard Chris Paul (hand) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, but the veteran guard won't play on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Paul is nearing a return from a fractured left hand, with his next chance to suit up coming on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. Brandin Podziemski remains worth deploying against a Lakers team giving up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing guards.

Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul (hand) is making "good progress," the team announced on Wednesday. The 12-time All-Star has missed 16 games with a fractured left hand, but it looks like his comeback isn't far away anymore. Golden State added that Paul is expected to intensify his on-court activities after the All-Star break, and he will be re-evaluated again in 10 days. Paul's eventual return will be a blow to Brandin Podziemski's playing time.

Golden State Warriors guards Chris Paul (hand) and Gary Payton II (hamstring) both remain out for Wednesday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers, but they are progressing from their respective injuries. While Payton returned to practice on Tuesday and is viewed as day-to-day with a strained left hamstring, Paul did some shooting and running following the session and is a bit further away from returning from a fractured left hand. CP3 is due to be re-evaluated in about a week, so he will remain off the floor until after the All-Star break in all likelihood. GPII, on the other hand, could return as soon as Saturday when Golden State hosts the Phoenix Suns. Rookie first-rounder Brandin Podziemski is locked into significant minutes in the Dubs backcourt, averaging 12.3 points on 51.1% shooting from the field, 6.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in 32.4 minutes through his last nine games.

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (wrist) has been cleared to participate in on-court work. Paul underwent hand surgery in early January when it was announced that he would be re-evaluated in three weeks. The organization announced on Tuesday that Paul is going to be sidelined at least two more weeks. Fantasy managers who have Paul rostered will need to remain patient. The absence of Paul has opened up additional playing time for Brandin Podziemski and Cory Joseph. Podziemski has some low-end or deep league appeal with Paul sidelined.

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) underwent surgery on his left hand on Monday, and he will be re-evaluated in three weeks. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Sunday that Paul is likely to miss four-to-six weeks, so fantasy managers can expect him to be shut down for at least the next three until another update presents itself. Injured during Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons, CP3 holds a career-low 8.9 points and 7.2 assists with 1.3 triples and 1.1 steals in 27.6 minutes per game covering 32 contests (11 starts) but should be stashed in the majority of leagues, considering dimes are difficult to find on waiver wires. Despite his recent struggles, rookie first-rounder Brandin Podziemski should be rostered at least until Draymond Green (suspension) returns to game action.
