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 will move back to Los Angeles to join the Clippers in his reportedly final season. He first played for the Clippers from 2011 to 2017. He played as a point guard for the San Antonio Spurs last season before his contract expired.

Chris Paul is returning to Los Angeles, the team announced Monday. The 40-year-old guard and 12-time All-Star has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the LA Clippers. Paul previously played with LA for six seasons from 2011-17, leading them to the playoffs each year.
