Chris Paul Returns Clippers Aiming NBA Title After 21 Seasons

Chris Paul has returned to the Los Angeles Clippers for the 2025-2026 NBA season, marking his 21st season and the longest career for a point guard in NBA history. Despite rumors of retirement, Paul has expressed his intent to continue playing beyond this season, motivated deeply by family support and a desire to finish "unfinished business" with former teammate James Harden. The Clippers, now the oldest team in NBA history, have added several key players including Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Bradley Beal, and Brook Lopez, increasing expectations for another championship run. Paul’s return is both strategic and personal, as he aims to bring stability and playmaking to the team, while reconnecting with a franchise where he is the all-time leader in assists and steals. The veteran guard also shared emotional reflections about the support from his family, especially his grandmother, which fuels his longevity in the league. The Clippers’ season schedule is expected to be released soon, and fans are eager to see if Paul and Harden can rekindle their on-court chemistry for a successful playoff push.
