Malcolm Brogdon appeared poised to earn a roster spot with the New York Knicks this season. Instead, he opted to retire. News of that decision broke less than a week before the 2025-26 campaign tips off.
The nine-year veteran spent the 2022-23 season with the Boston Celtics. There, he earned the Sixth Man of the Year Award. Brogdon averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. He knocked down 44.4 percent of the 4.4 threes he hoisted.
Perhaps if the former NBA Rookie of the Year hadn't suffered an arm injury that severely compromised his postseason production, Boston would have become the first team in league history to erase a 3-0 series deficit.
