Chris Paul confirmed he won't retire this offseason after the Phoenix Suns' disappointing Game 7 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Semifinals.

"You play long enough and you don't win, every time you lose, they're going to say it was your best chance," said Paul. "But I think for me, us, it's we'll be right back next year. I'll tell you that much.

"I'm not retiring tomorrow, thank God. Hopefully, I'm healthy coming back. But I'm [going to] keep playing."

Paul re-signed with the Suns during the 2021 offseason on a four-year, $120 million that is partially guaranteed in Year 4.

Marc Spears of Andscape reported that Paul has a previously unreported quad injury. Paul didn't comment on the injury when asked after the game.
