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.
After starring at the University of Connecticut, Gay was selected with the No. 8 pick in the 2006 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets and traded a few weeks later to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Gay spent much of his career with Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings and averaged 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds across 1,120 career games (778 starts). He also spent time with the Toronto Raptors and, most recently, the Jazz.
