Three-time All-Star center Marc Gasol is retiring after 20 professional seasons, he announced on social media Wednesday.
The 6-foot-11 big man last played in the Association during the 2020-21 campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers. He continued his career overseas for another two years with Spanish club Basquet Girona, which he founded in 2014.
Gasol spent 11 of his 13 NBA campaigns with the Memphis Grizzlies, earning two All-NBA nods and Defensive Player of the Year honors. He was a foundational piece for the club’s “Grit and Grind” era, during which the franchise made seven consecutive playoff appearances, including its lone conference finals.
