"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."
"Paul revealed the development himself shortly before 3am ET, posting an Instagram story saying he had just learned he was being sent home to Los Angeles from Atlanta, where the Clippers are set to face the Hawks later on Wednesday. Soon after Paul's post, team president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank issued a statement, confirming the separation. The Clippers must now determine the mechanism for Paul's departure."
Chris Paul is no longer part of the Los Angeles Clippers after the team confirmed the separation following Paul's Instagram post that he had been sent home from Atlanta. Team president Lawrence Frank said the organization will work with Paul on his next step, called him a legendary Clipper and accepted responsibility for the team's performance. The Clippers must decide whether to waive Paul and pay his $3.6 million salary, negotiate a buyout, or pursue a trade (trades not permitted until December 15). The team is 5-16 after losing 14 of 16 games, and Bradley Beal is out for the season. Paul, 40, returned on a one-year deal and intends to retire after his 21st season.
