Johnson’s number change allows Chris Paul to continue wearing his trademark No. 3.

Paul signed a one-year deal with San Antonio in June worth more than $11 million. He has worn No. 3 since entering the league in 2005.

The NBA veteran has played for six professional basketball teams throughout his career, all of which he wore the No. 3.

Johnson wore No. 3 for the Spurs since he was drafted out of the University of Kentucky in 2019.
