Persons with first-hand knowledge of the organizations’ plans confirmed to the Free Press today that Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace will have their numbers retired at two separate game-night ceremonies later this season.
Anonymity was requested because the dates haven’t been finalized, but the news confirms what has been rumored for the past year.
The plans have been in the works for some time, and Billups (No. 1) and Wallace (No. 3) were officially informed the past few days.
