Chris Paul Dismissed by Clippers, Coach Lue Denies Feud Report

Chris Paul was abruptly dismissed by the Clippers last week, stating he is 'at peace' and 'excited to be back here with my family,' including seeing his son play for the first time. Coach Tyronn Lue denied reports of a feud, insisting they were speaking despite Paul being out of the rotation in November. Clippers president Lawrence Frank confirmed the split, with the team planning to trade Paul, who becomes eligible Monday. A league source indicated Paul had called out teammates and coaches, leading to the decision. Paul averaged career lows of 2.6 points, 3.3 assists, and 14.3 minutes this season.
