San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson is giving up his No. 3 jersey for a team veteran, Chris Paul. In a move shared on Instagram, Johnson announced that he’ll switch to No. 0 for the 2024-25 season, making way for Paul, who has worn No. 3 for every team he’s played with during his 20-year NBA career.

Johnson has been a key player for the Spurs, averaging 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists last season. With Paul now in the mix, the Spurs are hoping his experience can help the team, especially after missing the playoffs for five straight seasons. Paul, who averaged 9.2 points and 6.8 assists last year with the Golden State Warriors, may no longer be in his prime, but his leadership will be crucial in guiding young talents like Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle.

San Antonio, coming off a tough 22-60 season, is looking to rebuild. With Johnson’s flexibility and Paul’s experience, the Spurs hope to turn things around and develop a stronger, more competitive team.
