Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul Will Retire From NBA After This Season
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul will retire from the NBA after this season.
Paul is 40 years old. He’s been in the league since 2005.
Paul has appeared in 10 games for the Clippers this season. He’s averaging 2.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 27.3% from the field, 27.3% from beyond the arc and a perfect 100.0% from the free-throw line.
One of the best players in NBA history, Paul has played for New Orleans Hornets, Clippers (twice), Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs. He holds career averages of 16.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game.
Paul has made 12 All-Star teams, nine All-Defensive teams and 11 All-NBA teams. He’s a top 75 player of all time and will make the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame one day.
Paul and Devin Booker guided the Suns to the 2021 NBA Finals. Phoenix took a 2-0 lead against the Milwaukee Bucks but lost four games in a row. Paul hasn’t gotten back to the NBA Finals since.
Unless the Clippers go on a magical run this season, Paul will go down as one of the greatest players of all time to never win a championship.
