Malcolm Brogdon has announced his retirement from the NBA at the age of 32. Brogdon was on track to make the New York Knicks’ regular season roster, but informed team officials of his decision on Wednesday.
“Today, I officially begin my transition out of my basketball career,” Brogdon told ESPN in a statement. “I have proudly given my mind, body and spirit to the game over the last few decades. With the many sacrifices it took to get here, I have received many rewards.
“I am deeply grateful to have arrived to this point on my own terms and now to be able to reap the benefits of my career with my family and friends. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all who have had a place in my journey.”
Brogdon was the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2017 with the Milwaukee Bucks and Sixth Man of the Year with the Boston Celtics in 203.
