Jeff Van Gundy confronted Chris Paul on plane before star’s ugly Clippers exit
NY Post
Some mile-high drama preceded Chris Paul’s stunning Clippers divorce.
Los Angeles assistant Jeff Van Gundy allegedly confronted Paul on a plane several days before the point guard’s exit over Paul assuming too much “leeway,” according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Van Gundy believed Paul had changed a coaching assignment down the stretch of the team’s Nov. 29 home loss to Dallas.
“I was told that Jeff Van Gundy told Chris Paul, ‘Listen, you might have had leeway in other places to be able to change up defensive coverages, but you don’t have that leeway here,” Haynes said during an appearance on Prime’s NBA coverage.
“And that was just one of the minor verbal incidents between Jeff Van Gundy and Chris Paul, that was one of a few during this brief span with the Clippers.”
Paul’s release caught the NBA community by surprise, happening at 3 a.m. ET on Wednesday when Paul announced via Instagram that the team sent him back to Los Angeles from Atlanta.
