When the Phoenix Suns were eliminated from this year's second round of the postseason, many believed that we've seen the last of Chris Paul in the Purple and Orange.

But, according to recent reports from Bleacher Report, that is not the case.
The Suns are likely to guarantee Paul's full salary for the 2023-24 season, per BR.

Paul, 38, is only guaranteed $15.8 million of his $30.8 million wage if he were to be waived by the June 28 deadline. Phoenix still maintains some flexibility with the decision, but the franchise is currently of the mindset that Paul will open up next season as the team's starting point guard, sources say.

Paul suffered a groin injury in Game 2 of the Suns' second round series against the Denver Nuggets. He was forced to watch his team get eliminated from the sideline, along with starting center Deandre Ayton.

The Suns were eliminated in six games. If the series had been extended, Paul would have reportedly been good to go for Game 7.
