"The 12-time All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist has earned four All-NBA first team selections, and he ranks second in NBA history with 12,552 assists. He was the first player to score at least 20,000 points while recording at least 10,000 assists. He became arguably the most accomplished player in Clippers franchise history while leading the team to six winning seasons from 2011-17, including the Clippers' first two Pacific Division titles and three playoff series victories."
"We are parting ways with Chris, and he will no longer be a part of the team, Frank said. We will work with him on the next step of his career. Chris is a legendary Clipper who has had a historic career. I want to make one thing very clear. No one is blaming Chris for our underperformance. I accept responsibility for the record we have right now. There are a lot of reasons why we've struggled."
Chris Paul was sent home from the Clippers' road trip while the team was in Atlanta, and Paul posted that he had "Just Found Out I'm Being Sent Home." The Clippers fell to 5-16 after a loss in Miami, marking a disappointing start to the season. Paul, 40, is in his 21st NBA season and has hinted this may be his final year. Paul is a 12-time All-Star, two-time Olympic gold medalist, four-time All-NBA first team selection and ranks second in NBA history with 12,552 assists. Clippers executive Lawrence Frank confirmed Paul will be parted ways with and said the team will work with him on next steps and pursue a trade while accepting responsibility for the team's underperformance.
