Doc Rivers opened up about his current relationship with the NBA superstar and president of the NBPA, Chris Paul.

Rivers and Paul spent four years together in the Los Angeles Clippers (2013-2017), but Paul eventually left the team and was traded to the Houston Rockets back in 2017.

“Our relationship is great. We put that behind us a year ago at least, golfed a bunch this summer before the season started. We cleaned the air long ago.

That happens from coach-player a lot. Usually when a guy leaves a company, in business, most of the time it’s not on great terms, even if they’re just going to another opportunity, but usually you come back to that company and say thank you and appreciate all the things you’ve done, and I think that was CP and our case.

That’s old news with us,” Rivers told Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.
