(New York) American Blake Griffin announced his retirement on Tuesday at the age of 35, having not played in the NBA since last season.
Posted at 1:39 p.m.
“Basketball has given me so much, I regret nothing,” he wrote Tuesday in a message posted on his social networks.
Six times selected to the All-Star Game, Blake Griffin was chosen first in the 2009 draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. His thunderous debut was delayed for a year by an injury.
He then joined the Detroit Pistons (2017), the Brooklyn Nets (2021), then played a final season 2022-2023 for a minor role with the Boston Celtics.
Positioned as a winger or power forward, Griffin saw his career slowed down by several injuries, notably to his left knee, he who still had nine seasons averaging more than 20 points per game.
With his incredible athleticism, Griffin left his mark on the NBA with his powerful dunks, notably during the 2011 All-Star game for his rookie season, when he jumped over a car.
