Former NBA All-Star Vince Carter is officially retiring from the NBA after 22-seasons.
The Atlanta Hawks guard announced his retirement on The Ringer’s “Winging It With Vince Carter” podcast, saying he is “officially done playing basketball professionally.”
He previously announced this would be his last season but he had not addressed his playing status since the NBA season was suspended March 11th because of the coronavirus outbreak. The league plans on restarting the season in July but the Hawks won’t be part of it.
