Jason Richardson is retiring after a 13-year NBA career in which he averaged more than 23 points a game for Golden State 10 years ago.
The 34-year-old swingman signed with the Atlanta Hawks in August. He played 19 games with the Philadelphia 76ers last season, his play shortened by a knee injury.
Richardson announced his retirement on Facebook, a move confirmed by the Hawks on Thursday. He says his decision was “hard and tough” but made easier by “choosing my family and my health.”
