Hawks Forward Vince Carter Announces He Will Return for NBA-Record 22nd Season

Hawks forward Vince Carter announced that he plans to return for an NBA record-setting 22nd season on Tuesday during an appearance on the "Wingin It" podcast with teammate Kent Bazemore.

"I'm coming back," Carter told Bazemore. When asked if his 22nd season will be in Atlanta, Carter responded, "I would like to. We'll see what happens."

Carter signed a one-year contract with the Hawks in July 2018. He averaged 7.4 points and 17.5 minutes per game in his first season with Atlanta as the Hawks went 29–53.

The North Carolina product will set the NBA record if he returns for a 22nd season.
