LaMarcus Aldridge is calling it a career, again.

The 37-year-old big man announced Friday on Twitter that he is retiring for a second time.

"In the words of TB12, you only get one big, emotional retirement... so, on that note...I'm thankful for all the memories, family and friends I made throughout my career," Aldridge tweeted. "It was one hell of a ride and I enjoyed every min!"

Aldridge played 16 seasons in the NBA, but briefly retired during the 2020-21 season after experiencing an irregular heartbeat while a member of the Brooklyn Nets.
