NBA great Chris Paul to end storied career after Hall of Fame-worthy run: report

Chris Paul appears to be taking his last dance. The 2025-2026 NBA season will likely be the future Hall of Famer's last. 

"Back in NC!!! What a ride…Still so much left…GRATEFUL for this last one!!" Paul, a North Carolina native, hinted at the speculation with a post on social media Saturday morning. He shared a video montage of him in the uniforms of all the teams he's played for and other important milestone moments.

Paul's reported retirement decision comes months after the star guard agreed to a one-year contract to return to the Los Angeles Clippers.

"I think throughout this season, at some point - guys that I know who've retired, and all this different type of stuff - you know, and you sort of figure it out yourself," Paul told ESPN's Malika Andrews in July. "It tells you. But I think more than anything, this season, I will definitely enjoy it. I don't take this for granted."
