Rudy Gay announces retirement after 17 NBA seasons

Rudy Gay is retiring after 17 NBA seasons, the veteran announced Tuesday.

Gay, 38, last played in the 2022-23 season for the Utah Jazz. He had signed a contract with the Golden State Warriors last summer but was waived shortly before the season.

"I needed to humble myself and be like: 'Look, this is over,' Gay wrote in a piece for The Players' Tribune on Tuesday. "But actually coming to grips with it being over, that's ... a process. One I'm honestly still dealing with, and struggle with at times. I'll still be watching games and see some of these guys missing a pass or fumbling the ball out of bounds, and I absolutely am that dude yelling at the TV like: 'I'm better than that clown. Are you kidding me?!?!?' It's not pretty.

"I'm 38 years old. That's nowhere even near mid-career for most people's professional lives. So, the way I see it, I've got a lot of work ahead of me. ... In the meantime, I'm just feeling extremely grateful for all the love, wisdom, and friendship that I've experienced in the game of basketball."
