INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Chris Paul walked into an empty Intuit Dome on Monday, looked up at the massive halo board and saw his name. His No. 3 jersey hung in the home locker room.

The 40-year-old guard says he is grateful for the combination of more time with his family while playing for a veteran-laden team with legitimate championship aspirations.

C hris Paul's re-introduction to Los Angeles ended up being more emotional than he expected, with hundreds of Clippers fans chanting "C-P-3."It's kind of wild, kind of crazy," Paul said of the experience. "Still kind of speechless."
