The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to miss the playoffs at 15-47, and center Channing Frye sees no reason to delay addressing what his plans are once the Cavs' season ends.
Frye, in his 13th NBA season, confirmed on Friday afternoon that he will retire. "Yes, I am really retiring," the 35-year-old tweeted. "It's been an amazing ride. I've had the chance to have some amazing teammates and play for some great coaches. I'm gonna miss it but I'm super excited to see the other side of the fence!"
The official announcement comes hours after Frye hinted at retirement in an Instagram post reminiscing on his time in the league—specifically playing at Madison Square Garden "for the last time" Thursday night against the Knicks, the team that drafted him No.
