- Late Tuesday, the Los Angeles Clippers sent Chris Paul home and announced they are parting ways, a move Paul first hinted at on Instagram, while Lawrence Frank confirmed they will try to trade him and "work with him on the next step of his career."

- Paul, a 12-time All-Star, returned last offseason as a homecoming for his 21st NBA season, which he strongly hinted last month could be his final year.
