Paul announced Friday via his personal Instagram account that he has retired from professional basketball. After being cut loose by the Raptors earlier Friday, Paul will opt to bring an end to a 21-year Hall of Fame career rather than looking to sign with a contending club upon clearing waivers. He didn't get the storybook ending he wanted this season, but his career numbers and accolades speak for themselves. He'll wrap up his career with averages of 16.8 points, 9.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 1,370 appearances over stops with New Orleans, the Clippers, Houston, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Golden State and San Antonio. Paul was the 2006 Rookie of the Year Award winner and a 12-time All-Star, and he led the league in assists five times and steals six times.

Chris Paul: Breaking News
Cut loose by Toronto
The Raptors waived Paul on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The move had been an expected one since Paul was acquired by Toronto on Feb. 4 in a three-team trade involving the Clippers and Nets. Paul, who has publicly said that he'll be retiring from the NBA following this season, is now free to explore other opportunities. He'll likely pursue a deal with a contending club or with a team located somewhere close to his home in Los Angeles.
Headed to Toronto
Paul has been traded to the Raptors in a three-way deal with the Nets and Clippers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Ochai Agbaji will head to Brooklyn as part of the swap. While Paul has been traded to Toronto, he's not expected to remain there, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Raptors are listening to trade offers on the 40-year-old veteran, but if nothing comes to fruition on that front, they are expected to waive him. Paul will likely latch on with a contender after he's waived, but he's well past his days of relevancy in fantasy leagues.
