On a Tuesday conference call reported on by Beth Harris of the AP, Los Angeles president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank told reporters Beal would cede his No. 3 jersey to Paul.

Chris Paul is reunited with the Los Angeles Clippers after an eight-year odyssey, and he’s expected to assume a much different role than the first time he came to the team in 2011.

The 12-time NBA All-Star played for the team from 2011-2017, and was named to the All-NBA First Team three times during that stint.
