Chris Paul's Wife Jada Opens Up on Husband's Major Career Decision

Paul's one year in San Antonio was certainly enough to leave a lasting impact on the Spurs' young core, including guys like Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. However, after just one season with the franchise, the 12-time NBA All-Star decided to return home.

Last week, Paul signed a one-year contract with the LA Clippers, returning home to Los Angeles and the franchise that helped cement him as one of the greats.

Of course, this was a huge decision for Paul to return back to Los Angeles, but it seemed to be an easy one.

Jada Paul opens up about Chris Paul's return to LA

Chris Paul's wife, Jada, talked about his return to the Clippers after being away from home for years in an interview with Andscape's Marc J. Spears.

“I’m going to support him until the wheels fall off,” Jada Paul said. “The past years have been hard. But the past two years have been harder than the previous three. He just hates being away from the kids, missing their games and not doing things in real time. This past [season] I traveled a lot more than in [seasons] prior."

Of course, Paul wanted to be closer to his family, so that is what he did.

“He was beating himself up about [being away]. And I told him, ‘This contract [with the Spurs] is not going to change our lives. Be aware that you’re making a choice. You are choosing to do this.’ But I didn’t want him to quit before it’s finished and be resentful later," Jada Paul continued.

"We’ll see [about the future], but having him home definitely makes it easier."
