Paul won't play in Thursday's preseason game versus the Rockets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul will be held out of Friday's preseason finale for rest purposes. The veteran point guard should be good to go for the team's regular-season opener against Dallas on Oct. 24.

Paul recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 107-97 preseason win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Paul co-led the Spurs in minutes alongside Victor Wembanyama and Blake Wesley, and while the veteran floor general didn't deliver an eye-popping stat line, he showed some rapport with Wembanyama, something that will be crucial for the Spurs' chances of improving their record from last season. Paul is simply getting enough reps to be ready for the regular-season opener against the Mavericks on Oct. 24, as he's already penciled in as the Spurs' starting floor general.

Paul will start Wednesday's preseason against the Magic, Dan Weiss of Bally Sports San Antonio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul rested during the Spurs' preseason opener, but he'll join the starting lineup for their second exhibition. Despite his starting status, Paul isn't expected to handle a heavy workload.

Paul (rest) will play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Magic, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul got the night off during Monday's preseason opener but will make his Spurs debut Wednesday. However, the 19-year NBA veteran isn't expected to play heavy minutes during the exhibition.

Paul (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason opener against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 19-year NBA veteran will join Devin Vassell (foot) and Victor Wembanyama (rest) on the bench Monday, allowing the Spurs to take an extended look at Stephon Castle and and Tre Jones. Paul's next chance to play during the preseason will come Wednesday against the Magic.

Paul agreed Sunday with the Spurs on a one-year deal worth at least $11 million, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being waived by Golden State shortly before the start of the free-agent moratorium period that began Sunday at 6 p.m. ET, Paul quickly found a new home with the rebuilding Spurs. In San Antonio, the 39-year-old may not see a major increase in the 26.4 minutes per contest he averaged with the Warriors in 2023-24, though he should benefit from a spike in the career-low 15.4 percent usage rate he handled now that he's part of a far more green Spurs backcourt rather than one that includes established All-Star talents in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The Spurs could elect to deploy a rough platoon of Paul and Tre Jones at point guard, which would enable rookie first-round Stephon Castle pick to begin his career in the more familiar off-ball role that he filled at UConn.

The Warriors waived Paul on Sunday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paul's $30 million salary for 2024-25 would have been fully guaranteed had the Warriors opted to keep him on the roster until free agency officially began at 6 p.m. ET Sunday, and after no trade partner emerged for the 39-year-old point guard, Golden State opted to cut him loose. Though he career-low 9.2 points on 44.1 percent shooting from the field in 26.4 minutes per contest over his 58 appearances in 2023-24, Paul still demonstrated aptitude as a playmaker (6.8:1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio). Paul could still have plenty of appeal around the league as a stopgap solution at point guard, though at this stage of his career, he's more ideally suited for a sub-30-minute starting role or as a lead guard off the bench.

Paul and the Warriors intend to move back the guarantee deadline on the point guard's contract to Sunday, the start of free agency, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Friday.

EDGE Analysis

If the Warriors guaranteed Paul's contract for 2024-25, the veteran would earn $30 million next season. Golden State can't afford that price and doesn't want to lose Paul in free agency for nothing, while the point guard likely agreed to this so he'd get a say in where he's potentially traded. Wojnarowski relays that the Warriors are still exploring trades, but what type of market Paul has at this point in his career remains unclear. He averaged a career-low 9.2 points per game in 2023-24.

Paul isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Kings, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stephen Curry will replace Paul in the starting five Tuesday after missing Golden State's previous contest with an ankle injury. Paul is averaging 8.2 points, 5.4 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 23.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Paul (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's regular-season finale versus Utah and slated to start at point guard.

EDGE Analysis

Paul's hamstring tightness is seemingly not an issue following pregame warmups, so he will give it a go. The veteran point guard could see a heavier workload than usual due to Stephen Curry (ankle) being sidelined.
