When Chris Paul returns to the LA Clippers, he'll keep the only number he has ever worn in his two decades in the NBA, thanks to guard Bradley Beal, who will give up his No. 3 jersey to Paul.

"Everyone's entitled in terms of the judgments they want to make on the group," says Clippers GM Lawrence Frank.

Chris Paul is rejoining the Los Angeles Clippers for what's expected to be the point guard's 21st and final NBA season. The team confirmed Monday afternoon that Paul had signed. He led the Clippers to the playoffs in each of his six seasons in Los Angeles.
