Lue denies feuding with Paul, who says he's 'at peace' with exit
Los Angeles Times
|December 11, 2025
Former guard says he's excited to be with his family. On Monday, he'll be trade-eligible.
NELL REDMOND Associated Press CLIPPERS COACH Tyronn Lue and Chris Paul (3) speak during a Nov. 22 road game against the Hornets.
Former Clippers point guard Chris Paul says he’s “at peace with everything” after being abruptly dismissed by the team last week.
“Stuff’s been a little crazy in the past few days — to say the least,” Paul told People magazine in an interview published Tuesday. “But honestly, I'm home. My daughter had tryouts yesterday. My nephew had a basketball game. My son has a game coming up on the 12th.”
Paul’s son, Chris Paul II, is a sophomore guard for the Campbell Hall varsity basketball team, which plays Newbury Park on Friday.
“I have never seen my son play a game in person,” the elder Paul said. “Not a middle school game, not a high school game. So I’m excited about seeing him play.”
Also on Tuesday, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue denied an ESPN report from last week that he and Paul hadn’t been on speaking terms in the weeks leading up to the team’s decision to part ways with one of its most iconic players.
