What happened: The Clippers have listed Bradley Beal No. 3 jerseys in their team store, using Chris Paul’s former number. Paul said the franchise told him it would retire No. 3 when he was sent home last season.

Why it matters: The listing adds friction to an unresolved question around the number’s future. It also puts the Clippers’ Beal jersey decision in direct tension with Paul’s account.

What to watch: Watch for a clarification from the Clippers or Paul on whether the jersey listing is final.
