His last appearance came in a loss to the Miami Heat on December 2, where he scored eight points.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Over his 21-year career, starting with being the No. 4 overall pick in the 2005 draft by New Orleans, Paul has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest point guards in league history. He suited up for the Hornets, Clippers (twice), Rockets, Thunder, Suns, Warriors, and Spurs, amassing averages of 16.8 points, 9.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.0 steals per game. A 12-time All-Star and Rookie of the Year, he led the league in assists multiple times and reached the NBA Finals with Phoenix in 2021, though a championship eluded him.<\/p>\n<p>More NBA:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/12\/cooper-flagg-joins-lebron-james-luka-doncic-on-unique-list\/\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Cooper Flagg Joins LeBron James, Luka Don\u010di\u0107 On Unique List;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">  Cooper Flagg Joins LeBron James, Luka Don\u010di\u0107 On Unique List <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been a sad NBA season for Chris Paul.
