Bradley Beal Gifts No. 3 Jersey to Chris Paul at Clippers

Chris Paul is set to return to the Los Angeles Clippers wearing his iconic No. 3 jersey, a number he has worn since entering the NBA in 2005. Newly acquired teammate Bradley Beal has graciously agreed to relinquish the number, which he has worn throughout his entire NBA career, recognizing its significance to Paul, also known as 'CP3.' Lawrence Frank, Clippers president of basketball operations, highlighted Beal's gesture as a testament to his character and understanding of the jersey's meaning. Paul, who played last season with the San Antonio Spurs, signed with the Clippers for what is expected to be his 21st and final NBA season, aiming to return to Los Angeles where his family resides. Although Paul will come off the bench, Frank emphasized that Paul's playing time will vary depending on the game. Beal has not yet decided on a new jersey number for the upcoming season.
