Chris Paul reportedly agrees to one-year deal with LA Clippers
The deal is reportedly worth $3.6m.
Paul, 40, joined Los Angeles leading up to the 2011-12 season, ultimately guiding the Clippers to at least 51 wins in five of his six seasons there. As a franchise, Los Angeles has won 50 or more games just seven times. An All-Star in five of his six seasons there, Paul ranks first in franchise history with 4,023 assists and 2.2 steals per game.
Paul joins a Clippers team that has recently signed Bradley Beal to a two-year deal and also added John Collins and Brook Lopez in free agency.
Paul has been named All-NBA 11 times, including four times as a first-team selection – three while with the Clippers.
He has averaged 17.0 points and 9.2 assists throughout his Hall of Fame career, which has spanned seven teams, most recently with the San Antonio Spurs this past season. His 2,717 career steals are second only to John Stockton with 3,265.
Paul was drafted No 4 overall by the then-New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets in the 2005 draft. He won Rookie of the Year for the 2005-06 season.

Report: European captain Luke Donald agrees to Ryder Cup rules change
July 21 - The 2025 Ryder Cup is getting off to a congenial start. According to a report by Telegraph Sport on Monday, Team Europe captain Luke Donald has agreed to extricate his counterpart Keegan Bradley from a potentially sticky situation. It was assumed that when Bradley was named Team USA captain, he would serve in the traditional manner. However, the 39-year-old has all but assured himself a spot inside the ropes -- complete with clubs and caddie -- given his brilliant play in 2025. However, the Ryder Cup rules state that only the captain is permitted to provide advice to players during the competition. Should Bradley be competing in a session, he would not be able to communicate with the squad. But Donald agreed to change the rule to allow one of the American vice-captains to assume Bradley's advisory duties. "Keegan can only change the overarching contract with Luke and Ryder Cup Europe's approval," a source told Telegraph Sport. "The contract between the teams includes things like how many vice-captains a team can have, etc. That is used year on year and captains rarely change that. But Keegan went to Luke with this clause and Luke generously agreed." The USA vice-captains are Jim Furyk, Kevin Kisner, Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker and Gary Woodland. Furyk, the team captain in the 2018 European win in Paris, could be equipped to assume the role. Bradley was the 2011 PGA Champion, then won only twice on the PGA Tour over the next 10-plus years. But he captured the BMW Championship during the 2024 FedEx Cup playoffs, then won his second Travelers Championship title in three years one month ago. He stands 10th in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings (the top six automatically qualify), but his World ranking has risen to No. 7. With other prominent American players like Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Speith slumping and the selections coming in four weeks, Bradley seems preparing to put himself on the team. The last playing captain for Team USA in a Ryder Cup was Arnold Palmer in 1963. The 2026 Ryder Cup takes place at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, N.Y. from Sept. 26-28. Team Europe is attempting to become the first away side to win (or retain) the cup in 13 years. They rallied for a 14.5-13.5 win at Medinah (Ill.) in 2012. --Field Level Media

Trump calls on two NFL teams to change their names
Notifications can be managed in browser preferences. Graig Graziosi Monday 21 July 2025 23:18 BST Washington Redskins confirm name change Donald Trump is threatening to block a new stadium deal for the Washington Commanders in Washington, D.C., unless the team changes its name back to the 'Redskins'. Trump also called for the Cleveland Guardians to revert to their previous name, the 'Indians', claiming 'our great Indian people' desire these changes. The Washington team changed its name from 'Redskins' in 2020 due to pressure over the use of a racial slur against Native Americans, while the Cleveland team became the 'Guardians' in 2021 for similar reasons. A 2020 poll found that half of Native American respondents were offended by the name 'Redskins', and a majority found related actions like the 'tomahawk chop' offensive. Despite Trump's demands, both the Commanders and Guardians have indicated no intention of reverting to their previous names, with the Commanders' owner stating they are 'moving forward with the Commanders name'.
