Chris Paul was re-elected to a new term as the president of the National Basketball Players Association on Friday, according to The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears.

The 32-year-old was initially elected to the post in August 2013 when he took over for Derek Fisher.

Paul—who reportedly declined his player option to become an unrestricted free agent on Friday, according to the Los Angeles Times' Brad Turner—will serve as president through 2021.

"I'm humbled that my fellow players have voted to have me continue as President of the NBPA," Paul said in a statement. "We’ve accomplished a lot these past few years, most notably successfully negotiating a new CBA while avoiding being locked out. But there’s more work to be done. I look forward to helping new players understand and embrace everything the PA does for them, and working to create new opportunities for our players both on and off the court."

The NBPA also elected Sacramento Kings guard Garrett Temple as its new vice president on Friday, replacing Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyle Korver.

Temple's term will last three years.
