Chris Paul's time with the Los Angeles Clippers appears to be over.
Paul was sent home from the franchise late on Tuesday night in the middle of the team's five-game road trip, he revealed on social media. The Clippers are in Atlanta ahead of a game against the Hawks on Wednesday night.
While specifics aren't yet known,NBA insider Chris Haynescalled it a "bizarre severing ties move."

Paul, 40, already announced this fall that he was going to retire after the season. It marked his 21st in the league, and the future Hall of Famer had just struck a one-year, $3.6 million deal to reunite with the Clippers after spending six seasons there earlier in his career. Joining the Clippers again, he said at the time, was a "no-brainer."
But the Clippers have been off to an awful start this season. They are entering Wednesday's game with just a 5-16 record and on a five-game losing skid.
