Jason Richardson announced his retirement Wednesday night, ending his 13-season NBA career less than a week before going to training camp with the Hawks.
Richardson, a 34-year-old guard/forward, signed with the Hawks after playing just 52 games over the past three years was he was plagued by injury.
In an Instagram post, Richard wrote: “Today is a bitter sweet moment for me. I’m officially announcing my retirement from pro basketball... Walking away was the hardest decision I had to make but choosing my health and spending time with my family is more important to me! God Bless!”
