NBA Insider Provides Chris Paul Update Following Spurs' Draft Lottery Luck

After Chris Paul played in all 82 games during his 20th season in the NBA, he may find a new home for year 21 as the veteran point guard enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. Last year, he signed a one-year deal to join the San Antonio Spurs and become a mentor for the young, Victor Wembanyama-led franchise.

Now, though, the Spurs' circumstances in acquiring guards that align more closely with Wembanyama's timeline may push Paul to sign elsewhere this offseason. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Paul is a "name to monitor" for the Dallas Mavericks who will be without Kyrie Irving after he suffered a torn ACL in March. Whether Paul lands in Dallas or not, Stein reported Monday his time in San Antonio may come to a close after the one-year deal.
