Chris Paul has decided to retire after a tumultuous 2025-26 season that left him a free agent and likely feeling a bit disrespected.
On Friday, the Raptors waived Paul, a week after acquiring from the Clippers in a trade at the deadline. The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer announced his retirement shortly after. For the first time in 20 years, the NBA will exist without Chris Paul in it.
