Two-time All-Star forward Zach Randolph announced his retirement Saturday after 17 seasons with five teams.
“I gave this game my all, and it gave everything back and more,” he posted on Twitter.
The 38-year-old “Z-Bo” was named the NBA’s Most Improved Player in 2003-04 and made the All-NBA third team in 2010-11.
A first-round pick by Portland (19th overall) in 2001, he played 1,116 games with the Trail Blazers, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings. His last game was with the Kings on March 19, 2018.
