Chris Paul has returned to the Los Angeles Clippers, and the team and its fans are ready for him to come back.
On Monday, the Clippers held an event that welcomed Paul to the team, and there were hundreds of fans in attendance.
The team took some pictures of Paul in his No. 3 uniform, seemingly very happy and prepared to play.
The photos, which were cause for celebration, were shared on social media.

Paul last wore this jersey back in 2016-17, before he moved on to the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and San Antonio Spurs.
When rumors of Paul leaving the Spurs popped up a few months ago, a lot of people started talking about the Clippers as a destination.
During his first stint with the team, he became a crucial part of their culture and one of the reasons why the “Lob City” era was so exciting.
Now he is coming back to a very different team.
The Clippers are still competitive, and Paul is hoping to fit into their lineup seamlessly.
He is now 40 years old and surely close to his retirement.
In fact, some people feel that 2025-26 might be his last year in the NBA.
If this is where it all ends for Paul, he will be playing for a team that is beyond happy to have him.
No matter how many minutes and games he plays, Paul will be treated like a hero next season.
