John Wall is retiring after 11 NBA seasons.
Wall, 34, played most of his career with the Washington Wizards after they made him the first pick in the 2010 draft out of Kentucky. The five-time All-Star point guard finishes his NBA career with averages of 18.7 points and 8.9 assists per game.
“Today, I’m stepping off of the court, but not away from the game,” Wall said Tuesday in a social media post. “Basketball will always be in my life, and new opportunities present themselves. I feel now is the time to walk confidently into my next chapter.”
