Free-agent point guard Chris Paul plans to sign with the San Antonio Spurs, sources told TNT’s Chris Haynes.
Paul elected to join the Spurs hours after being waived by the Golden State Warriors. Golden State cut the 19-year veteran ahead of Sunday’s deadline to guarantee his $30 million salary for next season.
The 39-year-old Paul played just one campaign with the Warriors after being acquired from the Washington Wizards last July. He averaged a career-low 9.2 points in 58 games (18 starts) last season, while his 6.8 assists per game represented his worst mark in four years.
