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.

Veteran guard Chris Paul received his No. 3 from late-night host Jimmy Fallon after signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Beal has worn No. 3 throughout his NBA career but graciously offered to give it up to Paul, who fans affectionately know as "CP3." Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank shared the news at Tuesday's teleconference call .
