LOS ANGELES — Jeff Van Gundy confronted Chris Paul during a team flight shortly before the star point guard’s acrimonious departure from the Los Angeles Clippers, the New York Post reported Friday (Dec. 6, 2025).
The report states that Van Gundy, a former NBA head coach turned broadcaster, approached Paul on the charter plane in the closing stretch of the guard’s tenure with the Clippers. The exchange was described as tense, though the story did not disclose specific details of what was said or the exact date of the incident.
Paul’s split from the organization was labeled “ugly” in the Post story, and the mid-air confrontation is now being cited as one of the flashpoints that underscored the friction surrounding the end of his time in Los Angeles.
