NEW YORK (AP) — Malcolm Brogdon has retired after a nine-year NBA career during which he won awards for being the league’s top rookie and best reserve.
The veteran point guard had spent the preseason with the New York Knicks, where he could have been the backup to All-Star Jalen Brunson.
Instead, he decided Wednesday that he would no longer play.
Brogdon, 32, was a second-round pick of the Milwaukee Bucks in 2016.
He won the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award in 2017 and later played for Indiana, Boston, Portland and Washington.
Brogdon won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award in 2022-23 while playing for the Celtics.
He averaged 15.3 points in 463 games.
