Free agent point guard Chris Paul is signing a one-year contract worth over $11 million with the San Antonio Spurs, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal came together quickly after the Golden State Warriors waived Paul on the day his $30 million salary for the 2024-25 season was set to guarantee.
