Chris Paul has no plans of retiring yet.

After the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the Play-In Tournament, Paul said he enjoyed playing with the Warriors and wants to return next season.But his status with the team remains uncertain and Golden State has until June 28 to decide whether or not to keep the veteran point guard.

If Paul and the Warriors do decide to end their partnership, NBC Sports' Marc Stein said the San Antonio Spurs could emerge as a potential suitor for Paul.

“A potential team to watch, should Paul and the Warriors part ways, is San Antonio. Among the early personnel rumbles in circulation: The Spurs could emerge as a Paul suitor if they decide to pursue some veteran know-how on a short-term contract basis to furnish presumptive Rookie of the Year winner Victor Wembanyamawith more seasoned help in Year 2," Stein said in his newsletter.

Paul averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 6.8 assists in 26 minutes per game in his first season with the Warriors. He missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2010.

“It was a unique experience,” Paul said. “I'm glad I got an opportunity to play with the guys that I did, get a chance to meet new people, play for an organization I never would have imagined I'd play for. But I'm grateful for the experience.”
