Paul closed with six points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 112-111 loss to the Magic.
Paul struggled again Saturday, perhaps as a result of the recent trade. With De'Aaron Fox now playing as the primary facilitator, there is less for Paul to do on offense. Since Fox landed in town, Paul has averaged just 7.6 points, 7.0 assists and 0.3 steals. Although he should remain in the starting lineup, at least for the time being, his overall appeal appears as though it is going to be somewhat muted moving forward.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
Paul (finger) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
The Spurs have given Paul the green light to play Wednesday, and the veteran guard will avoid missing his first game of the season in the process. Over his last 10 games, Paul has averaged 8.5 points, 7.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29.2 minutes. San Antonio has also opted to send Stephon Castle to the bench against Atlanta, keeping Paul with the first unit alongside the incoming De'Aaron Fox.

Spurs' Chris Paul: On track to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Paul (finger) is on track to play in Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Paul sounds to be on the right side of the questionable tag with a finger sprain Wednesday, although the veteran guard will presumably go through pregame warmups before the Spurs officially update his game status. Paul has averaged 8.5 points, 7.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29.2 minutes over his last 10 games, but he could be headed for a reserve role with De'Aaron Fox joining the club.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Paul (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
Paul has been added to San Antonio's injury report for Wednesday with a finger sprain, putting him in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. If the veteran guard is unable to suit up for the Spurs, Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan could be needed to shoulder the load in the backcourt, as De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin may not be cleared to play after being acquired in a trade Sunday.

Paul posted 10 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one block in 28 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 loss to Miami.
Although he didn't make a significant impact in the scoring department, Paul handed out a game-high nine assists Sunday. The veteran floor general has yet to reach the 20-point threshold in 2024-25. Still, he's averaged 12.2 points, 7.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.5 threes while shooting 48.4 percent from downtown over his last six games to remain a solid contributor for the Spurs and fantasy managers.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Drains five threes Wednesday
Rotowire
Paul chipped in 18 points (6-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 loss to the Bucks.
Paul was deadly from three-point range and posted a solid stat line while ending just three dimes shy of a double-double. He remains a solid contributor in fantasy, mainly due to his three-point shooting, assists and steals contributions. Paul has scored over 15 points in his last two games as well, though that streak shouldn't extend much further given his role on offense.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Solid numbers in Monday's loss
Rotowire
Paul chipped in 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and nine assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to Chicago.
It was Paul's best scoring effort since he dropped 19 on the Jazz back on Halloween. The future Hall of Famer has scored in single digits in five straight games prior to Monday, and his main fantasy value comes from his still-strong distribution skills. In 17 games since the beginning of December, Paul has recorded at least eight assists 13 times, averaging 8.1 points, 8.6 assists, 5.1 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.4 threes over that stretch.

Rotowire
Paul racked up seven points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and 11 assists in 31 minutes during Friday's 113-110 win over Denver.
Paul didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 11 shots to score a meager seven points, but he made his presence felt in other areas. Particularly, his 11 assists marked the second time he recorded double-digit dimes across his last three appearances, and he's achieved that feat five times since the beginning of December. He's averaging 7.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game in that span (15 games).

Paul missed each of his six shots from the field, and his efficiency from the charity stripe was the only thing that prevented him from going scoreless. However, the veteran point guard salvaged his fantasy output by handing out 14 assists and posting solid numbers in other categories. Paul is averaging 7.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.

Paul closed with 12 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 overtime win over the Hawks.
The 39-year-old point guard didn't supply a lot of offense, but he didn't need to with Victor Wembanyama going off for 42 points. Paul still scored in double digits for the first time in four games though, and his four steals were a season high. The future Hall of Famer has provided exactly the experience and leadership a young Spurs roster needed, and Paul has recorded at least one steal in 10 straight games, averaging 8.0 points, 8.1 assists, 4.6 boards, 1.9 steals and 1.4 threes over that stretch.

He hasn't scored 20 points or more in a game this season, though he isn't expected to carry the scoring load at this stage of his career. Paul is averaging 10.4 points, 8.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 28.8 minutes per game this season.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Limited impact in blowout loss
Rotowire
Paul notched 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Saturday's 110-93 loss to the Mavericks.
The Spurs competed hard in the first two quarters but crumbled in the second half, so Paul's minutes were cut short once the game got out of reach for San Antonio. The three assists tied a season-low mark for the veteran floor general, but at least Paul managed to score in double digits for the third time over his last four appearances. He's averaging 10.8 points and 8.5 assists per game in that stretch.
