What is the update on Chris Paul?

In a recent interview with Chris Paul, he was asked how much longer he had left before retiring.

Paul was very honest with his answer, saying, "At the most, a year."

He's one of the few players to be as accomplished as he is in his career, yet he doesn't have a championship ring.

That has to be one of the driving factors in why he's still playing, but there comes a time when some dreams don't come true, and a player has to call it.

He's still giving it his all and can be a valuable asset to whatever team he joins next season.

Paul is still a durable player, as he just played in all 82 games in the 2024-25 NBA season.

Last season he averaged 8.8 PPG, 3.6 RPG and 7.4 APG.

He's currently a free agent and is looking for a city where he will likely play his last season.
