Chris Paul agrees to deal with Spurs hours after Warriors run ends: reports

It didn’t take long for Chris Paul to find a new team, apparently.

Hours after the Golden State Warriors point guard was waived, multiple reports indicated that Paul agreed to a contract with the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. The deal would potentially put him in the same lineup with Victor Wembanyama, Devin Vassell and Jeremy Sochan.

Paul’s deal is worth $11 million over one year, ESPN reported.

He played with the Warriors last season after he was acquired in a trade that involved Jordan Poole.

The 12-time All-Star averaged 9.2 points, 6.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 58 games. He played in fewer than 60 games in consecutive seasons, the 2022-23 season with the Phoenix Suns. It’s the first time he’s done that since the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, when he was with the Houston Rockets.

Paul is considered to be one of the best point guards to play in the NBA since he entered the league in 2005. He leads the NBA in most assists all-time among active players with 11,894. Only Paul and LeBron James have at least 11,000 assists all-time.

He also might be the best modern player to never win an NBA championship. He was close when he was with the Suns when they made the 2021 NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks won the series in six games.

U.S. gymnastics trials: Simone Biles wins all-around, makes Olympics for third time

U.S. gymnastics trials: Simone Biles wins all-around, makes Olympics for third time

In a historically difficult selection process, one choice was easy.

Simone Biles will be on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team for the Paris Olympics.

The 27-year-old earned her third consecutive Olympic berth by winning the Olympic trial all-around crown Sunday at Target Center. She entered the second day of competition with a 2.5-point lead and finished with a score of 117.225, five points better than her nearest competitor. The seven-time Olympic medalist’s all-around victory earned her an automatic spot on the Olympic team.

After hitting her floor routine in the final rotation, Biles could finally exhale. She sat at the top of the stairs on the floor podium and sighed.

“Oh my God,” she muttered.

Jordan Chiles was the first gymnast to greet her. The teammates who train together will return to the Olympics together.

Chiles made her second Olympic team after a third-place all-around finish. Injuries to three key contenders cleared the path to Paris for a unique veteran-laden team that will also include Olympic gold medalists Suni Lee and Jade Carey. The reigning Olympic all-around champion Lee finished second in the two-day trial competition, continuing a triumphant return after two kidney diseases threatened her future. Carey, the Tokyo Olympic floor champion, finished fourth in the all-around.

The group of Olympic veterans will lead the way for rookie Hezly Rivera, who survived a tight race against 18-year-old Joscelyn Roberson for the final position. Roberson and Leanne Wong were named alternates.

Rivera and Roberson tied on beam — a key event for the United States scoring scenarios — at trials, but Rivera finished with a 0.175-point advantage for fifth in the all-around, doubling down on her sixth place at the U.S. championships.

Rivera turned 16 just two days after the championships last month. Having just become age eligible for the senior elite level this year, Rivera’s only senior international competition was at the City of Jesolo Trophy, where she helped the United States win bronze.

The team is the oldest women’s artistic gymnastics team in history, with four of five competitors returning for at least a second Games.

Skye Blakely, 19, and Shilese Jones, 21, were favorites to make their first Olympic teams, but both withdrew after injuries. Blakely’s Achilles tear on Wednesday and Jones’ knee injury, combined with an Achilles injury suffered in competition Friday by Tokyo Olympic alternate Kayla DiCello, suddenly limited the selection pool that was one of the deepest in history.

The veteran team will attempt to win the United States’ third Olympic gold medal in the last four Games. The silver-medal finish in Tokyo extended the United States’ Olympic podium streak to eight Games, but it is more commonly remembered as the time Biles quit the team final.

After the most decorated athlete in the sport questioned whether she would ever compete again. It wasn’t the physical toll. She just wondered if she could do it all — the daily training, the scrutiny, the attention — mentally. During her first day back, she didn’t think she could.

“That was the hardest part after Tokyo: I didn’t trust myself to do gymnastics,” Biles said at the U.S. championships last month. “I knew that it would come if I started training again, but it was really hard to trust just myself.”

Not only did Biles return, but she continued to redefine the sport. Her Biles II vault — a Yurchenko double pike that no other woman in history has dared to attempt in competition — wowed the sold out crowd again Sunday even though she had so much power that she was forced to run backward several steps to catch herself at the edge of the platform. She still had no problem blowing away the vault competition with a two-day score of 74.400.

Sitting on the floor podium after the event, Biles credited her focus on her mental health with helping her return to the Olympics.

“Seeing my therapist every Thursday,” Biles said in an in-arena interview to a loud cheer from the crowd. “It’s kind of religious for me.”
