At first, it looked like Chris Paul would not report to New Orleans Hornets training camp on Friday after a three-way trade that would have sent him to the Los Angeles Lakers was vetoed by David Stern.

Paul is currently practicing along with the rest of the Hornets, according to Hornets.com writer Jim Eichenhofer.
