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 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: Back in rotation Monday
Rotowire
Paul logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to Philadelphia.
Paul moved back into the rotation, albeit in a minor role. His return to Los Angeles has been nothing but disappointing, adding to the frustrations in Clipper land. At this point, there is no reason to be rostering him in any fantasy format.

Clippers' Chris Paul: DNP Wednesday
Rotowire
Paul didn't see the floor Wednesday in the 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
Rotowire
Paul is expected to see an increase in playing time Thursday night against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
The 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: Scoreless in 11 minutes
Rotowire
Paul chipped in zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 11 minutes during Tuesday's 126-107 loss to Oklahoma City.
Although Kawhi Leonard (ankle, rest) and Bradley Beal (knee, rest) were both out, Paul saw just 11 minutes on the second leg of the back-to-back set. Paul's fantasy appeal has really been lacking early on, as he's averaging 13.4 minutes across seven appearances.

Clippers' Chris Paul: Scoreless in 14 minutes
Rotowire
Paul ended with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and three steals across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 98-79 loss to Golden State.
Paul has recorded a few steals, but his overall fantasy impact has been quite limited to start the season. Through four regular-season contests, Paul is averaging 14.9 minutes per game with 2.5 points, 4.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals.

Clippers' Chris Paul: Will play vs. Utah
Rotowire
Paul (rest) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Paul sat out the team's preseason finale for rest purposes. He'll suit up to start his second stint in Los Angeles. It remains to be seen what kind of role he'll play with the Clippers and how that impacts his fantasy value.

Rotowire
Paul (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Warriors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Along with Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Nicolas Batum and Brook Lopez, Paul will sit out the Clippers' preseason finale. The veteran point guard is expected to be ready to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Jazz.

Clippers' Chris Paul: Drops 10 dimes in victory
Rotowire
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 Clippers, where he made his name as one of the NBA's best point guards in the modern era. Paul isn't likely to draw many starts unless James Harden gets injured or takes a night off. He'll be a great addition to the second unit, where his playmaking skills could put him into the conversation for Sixth Man of the Year by season's end.

Clippers' Chris Paul: Fares well in debut
Rotowire
Paul recorded 15 points (4-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks across 17 minutes of Thursday's 142-95 preseason win over the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
The first game of Paul's farewell tour went swimmingly. He came off the bench and operated as the primary backup behind James Harden, giving the second unit a huge lift. Paul may struggle to put up consistent fantasy value while the Clippers are at full strength, but it's clear he still has plenty left in the tank.

Clippers' Chris Paul: Agrees to deal with LAC
Rotowire
The Clippers agreed to a one-year deal with Paul on Monday, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Paul will end his NBA career where he had arguably the most success, as he will join forces with Kawhi Leonard and James Harden for his farewell tour. The Wake Forest product spent six seasons with the Clippers before stints with the Rockets, Thunder, Suns, Warriors and Spurs. During the 2024-25 campaign with San Antonio, the veteran point guard played in all 82 regular-season games, averaging 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 42.7 percent from the floor and 37.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Logs four steals against Toronto
Rotowire
Paul closed Sunday's 125-118 win over Toronto with 15 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in 34 minutes.
Paul did a little bit of everything Sunday and showed off his defensive IQ with a game-high four steals, which was the fifth time he's logged that many swipes in a game this season. By playing Sunday, Paul joined Michael Jordan and John Stockton as the second-oldest players to appear in all 82 games of a regular season. Paul enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, though it's unclear whether he'll return for a 21st NBA season.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Minimal impact in loss
Rotowire
Paul accumulated nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 122-117 loss to the Clippers.
Paul is likely evaluating his options as the lost season comes to a close. While the Spurs should trend back up next season upon Victor Wembanyama's return, Paul's numbers have been mediocre, and he isn't getting any younger. He's averaged 7.5 assists per game this season and is one of the all-time great dime-droppers, but he may not have much gas left in the tank.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Full stat line in win
Rotowire
Paul notched 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 win over the Nuggets.
It was a solid all-around output by Paul, who put up a full stat line and fell one dime short of the team lead. The veteran floor general isn't the most exciting fantasy option at this stage of his career, but he remains a solid source of assists, steals and threes in category-based formats. Over his last nine games, Paul has averaged 9.4 points, 5.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Struggles continue Thursday
Rotowire
Paul had five points (2-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and two steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Cavaliers.
Paul struggled from the field once again, and over his last three outings, he has shot only 22.2 percent from the floor. While the 39-year-old has failed to score double-digit points in three consecutive games, he has tallied multiple swipes in each of them. Despite his recent struggles, Paul has been fairly solid in March, averaging 7.5 points and 6.3 assists across 24.7 minutes per game while shooting 49.4 percent from the field.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Hands out nine assists
Rotowire
Paul chipped in 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, nine assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 victory over the Knicks.
Stephon Castle and Sandro Mamukelashvili led the Spurs to victory Wednesday, but Paul still made his presence felt as a reliable playmaker and finished just one assist away from recording a double-double. Even though he's no longer the go-to option on offense as he was during his prime years, Paul has done a good job of playing alongside Castle in the backcourt. The veteran floor general is averaging 7.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 0.8 steals per game across 11 starts since the beginning of March.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
Paul provided nine points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and eight assists across 22 minutes during Monday's 125-109 loss to the Lakers.
Paul wasn't too far away from recording the 19th triple-double of his career. With De'Aaron Fox (finger) out for the season, Paul and Stephon Castle are likely to see the bulk of the backcourt minutes in the short term, although Paul could be dialed back in favor a youth movement towards the very end of the season.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Tallies nine assists in loss
Rotowire
Paul chipped in six points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine assists, two rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 133-129 loss to the Mavericks.
Paul led the club in assists during the loss, dishing out six or more dimes for a sixth consecutive contest. The veteran playmaker struggled from three-point range Monday, though he has still shot an efficient 44.4 percent from beyond the arc in 11 outings since the All-Star break. However, Paul has been fairly quiet on the offensive end in that 11-game span, scoring in single digits during eight of those 11 outings.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Quiet in loss
Rotowire
Paul accumulated six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one block over 28 minutes during Sunday's 146-132 loss to the Thunder.
Stephon Castle has been on a tear off the bench for San Antonio, resulting in fewer minutes and usage for Paul. Over the last three games, the veteran point guard has played just 23.5 minutes per contest to go with averages of 6.0 points, 6.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Paul totaled 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, two steals and one block over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 109-103 loss to the Pelicans.
Paul delivered a bounce-back performance following two lackluster outings, during which he accumulated only seven points (2-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and one steal across 47 total minutes. The veteran point guard posted his 12th double-double through 56 regular-season appearances Tuesday, leading the Spurs with a game-high mark in assists. Additionally, Paul logged multiple steals for the 22nd time during the 2024-25 campaign.
