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.

Paul is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz with left hamstring tightness.

EDGE Analysis

Golden State released a lengthy injury report for Sunday, most of which details minor issues. Coach Steve Kerr hinted that he could rest several players against the Jazz, and Paul is a prime candidate for a night off.

Paul will move back to the bench for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Klay Thompson is sitting out with a right knee issue, but it's likely a precaution for the front end of this back-to-back set. In 16 starts this season, Paul has averaged 12.6 points, 7.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals.
