In the 2025-26 NBA season, Chris Paul might be seen wearing a jersey he knows all too well.<\/p>\n

During a Zoom conference on Saturday, Lawrence Frank, the Los Angeles Clippers\u2019 president of basketball operations, was queried by journalists about the possibility of signing Chris Paul, a free agent and 12-time All-Star who previously played for the Clippers.<\/p>\n

Frank suggested that bringing Paul back, who was with the Clippers from 2011 to 2017, might be a feasible option this coming offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris is not only a phenomenal player but also a significant figure in the history of the Clippers,” Frank expressed to ClutchPoints’ Tomer Azarly. “He embodies many of the qualities we value highly. We are definitely giving serious consideration to the idea of bringing him back.”<\/p>\n

Clippers President Lawrence Frank jumped at @LawMurrayTheNU<\/a> mistakenly asking if the Clippers plan to sign Bradley Beal (he meant to say Chris Paul) <\/p>\n

LF then adds: \u201cWhat I’d say about Chris is he’s a great player, he’s a great Clipper. He obviously possesses some of the\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/tyVwlReh0H<\/a><\/p>\n

Paul himself has shown interest in a potential reunion. During his June appearance on The Pat McAfee Show<\/em>, he indicated that he wanted his next team to be close to his family in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I just want to spend time being a Dad for a while,” Paul shared. “I\u2019m still passionate about basketball, I was at the gym early this morning… My daughter\u2019s started playing basketball too. Just before I came here, we spent about 20 minutes practicing together… It\u2019s moments like these you can\u2019t replace. But I still have a strong desire to play because I love the game, yet I also want to prioritize fatherhood.”<\/p>\n

Returning to the Clippers could be advantageous for both Paul and the team. The Clippers currently have limited options for a true point guard, with James Harden, who has adapted to the role later in his career, and Kris Dunn as their main options.<\/p>\n

Paul, who distributed an average of 7.4 assists per game in all 82 games for the San Antonio Spurs in the 2024-25 season, remains a viable candidate for the position even at 40 years old. During his previous stint with the Clippers, Paul was instrumental in revitalizing the team, leading them to playoff appearances each year after a long history of underperformance.<\/p>\n
