The Clippers announced late Tuesday night that they are releasing star point guard Chris Paul. Paul returned to the Clippers this past summer ahead of his final NBA season, but has been cut from the team less than two months into the 2025-26 season.
“We are parting ways with Chris Paul and he will no longer be with the team,” the statement from president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank read. “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. We’re grateful for the impact Chris has made on the franchise.”
