Veteran guard JJ Redick has decided to retire from professional basketball after 15 season, the player announced through his social media on Tuesday.

“First team. Last team. So GRATEFUL for everything in between. Today, I am officially retiring from the game of basketball. Thank you to EVERYONE who was a part of my journey and career ❤️. I started playing basketball 30 years ago in my backyard on an uneven patch of dirt, gravel, and grass. It was on that court that my dreams began to form. Reality has far surpassed my dreams!! So thankful for 15 years in the NBA and all the amazing relationships and memories along the way”, wrote the 37-year-old on his Instagram account.

Redick was limited to 44 games last season due to issues with his achilles tendon, 13 of which he played with the Dallas Mavericks, where he was traded during the season. He produced 7.4 points with 39.7% FG, including 37.1% from the three-point line in 16.4 minutes.

Redick spent the first six years of his career with the Orlando Magic and was later traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2012-13 season. The sharpshooter then played for the Los Angeles Clippers jersey for the next four seasons, before moving to the Philadelphia 76ers. He signed a contract with the New Orleans Pelicans in the summer of 2019, before completing his move to Dallas this year.
