Paul had six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 13 minutes in Saturday's 125-108 preseason win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Paul had his Warriors debut and played as a starter with Draymond Green (ankle) sidelined, and he had some decent moments while playing alongside Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Paul is expected to play as the sixth man when the entire team is healthy, but the veteran floor general should see enough minutes to be a decent fantasy option in most formats.

Paul (groin) was a full participant at the Warriors' first day of training camp Tuesday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to practicing and scrimmaging, Paul and Stephen Curry stayed late for drill work. Paul's spry activity and extra reps with Curry bodes well for acclimating effectively, and it appears his groin injury from May is entirely behind him.

The Wizards are finalizing a deal to send Paul (groin) to the Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, a protected 2030 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul will head to the Warriors after being traded from the Suns to the Wizards on Sunday. The veteran point guard will have the opportunity to compete for a championship, as it was always unlikely he would stay in Washington. Paul averaged 13.9 points, 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals on 44.0/37.5/83.1 shooting splits across 59 games for Phoenix in 2022-23 but missed the final four contests of the playoffs with a groin injury. The 38-year-old still has the ability to orchestrate an offense, but it remains to be seen if he will start alongside Stephen Curry in the backcourt or come off the bench for Golden State.

The Suns are trading Paul (groin), Landry Shamet, multiple second-round picks and multiple pick swaps to the Wizards in exchange for Bradley Beal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported earlier in the offseason that the Suns had waived Paul to create cap space, but Phoenix was actually able to include the veteran point guard in a deal to add a third star. Paul's fit in Washington is questionable, so it's possible he's flipped again as the Wizards' new ownership completely revamps its roster. In his age-37 season, Paul averaged 13.9 points, 8.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 59 appearances. He's not the player he once was, but Paul could still help a contending team if he accepts a reduced role, similar to Kyle Lowry's current situation with the Heat. However, Paul missed the final games of the 2022-23 postseason due to a groin strain, and his status remains unclear heading into next year.

The Suns and Paul (groin) are exploring multiple options this offseason, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reported that the Suns notified Paul on Wednesday that he will be waived, but nothing has been made official yet. It sounds like the new leadership in Phoenix is looking to reduce Paul's salary cap hit for 2023-24 and beyond in any way possible, including releasing him outright, but the point guard could come back if he accepts a pay cut. Either way, the Suns are looking to significantly change their roster this offseason after a disappointing end to their 2022-23 playoff run.

The Suns notified Paul (groin) on Wednesday that he will be waived, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul's 2022-23 campaign came to a disappointing end after being forced to miss the final four games of the Second Round in the Western Conference Playoffs against Denver due to a left groin strain. The veteran point guard averaged 13.9 points, 8.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 32.0 minutes across 59 appearances last season. Even at age 38, Paul figures to be one of the top free agent options on the market this summer, though his injury history remains a significant concern. Meanwhile, the Suns will likely look to bring in another option or two at point guard this offseason, but for the time being Cameron Payne is set to be the primary beneficiary of Paul's departure.

Paul (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 versus the Nuggets, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul will miss his fourth straight contest Thursday due to a left groin strain. Cameron Payne should continue to start in the veteran point guard's absence. Phoenix will have to win Game 6 and force a Game 7 to give Paul another chance of suiting up this postseason.

Paul (groin) won't play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team noted earlier in the day that Paul was unlikely to be available due to a left groin injury, so this update isn't a big surprise. Paul's absence opens the door for Cameron Payne, who should get the nod at point guard Tuesday evening.

The Suns are preparing to be without Paul (groin) for Tuesday's Game 5 in Denver, but he could potentially return for Thursday's Game 6 in Phoenix, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul has missed back-to-back games due to a strained left groin, but the Suns have won both of those matchups to tie the series at 2-2. Phoenix will release its official injury report for Game 5 sometime Monday afternoon, but it sounds like the veteran point guard will be listed as doubtful, at best. If he's sidelined as expected, Cameron Payne figures to draw another start at point guard, but Devin Booker and Kevin Durant will presumably continue handling the bulk of the offensive usage.

Paul (groin) won't play in Game 4 against the Nuggets on Sunday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul will miss a second straight game due to a strained left groin and should be considered day-to-day moving forward. Cameron Payne drew the start in Paul's place for Game 3, logging seven points and six assists over 30 minutes and should remain in the starting lineup Sunday. Paul's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Denver for Game 5.
