Paul, 40, already announced this fall that he was going to retire after the season. It marked his 21st in the league, and the future Hall of Famer had just struck a one-year, $3.6 million deal to reunite with the Clippers after spending six seasons there earlier in his career. Joining the Clippers again, he said at the time, was a “no-brainer.”
But the Clippers have been off to an awful start this season. They are entering Wednesday’s game with just a 5-16 record and on a five-game losing skid.
This post will be updated with more information shortly.
