Chris Paul is returning to Los Angeles, the team announced Monday. The 40-year-old guard and 12-time All-Star has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the LA Clippers. Paul previously played with LA for six seasons from 2011-17, leading them to the playoffs each year.

There are constants in life: the sun rises, grass is green and Chris Paul wears No. 3. All three things remain true after a thoughtful gesture from Bradley Beal, Paul's new teammate with the Los Angeles Clippers.

When Chris Paul returns to the LA Clippers, he'll keep the only number he has ever worn in his two decades in the NBA, thanks to guard Bradley Beal, who will give up his No. 3 jersey to Paul.
