The Phoenix Suns plan to waive veteran guard Chris Paul, according to a report from Bleacher Report/TNT’s Chris Haynes.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that a trade could also be on the table, along with potentially waving and re-signing the 12-time All-Star this offseason.
Paul, a 12-time All-Star and member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, averaged a career-low 13.9 points last season to go along with 8.9 assists and 1.5 steals over 59 games. The 37-year-old guard has two seasons remaining on the four-year deal he signed with Phoenix in 2021.
The Suns finished the 2022-23 season with a record of 45-37. They were eliminated by the Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals.
If Paul is waived and clears waivers, then he would become an unrestricted free agent.
