Former Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon has decided to retire from basketball at just 32 years old, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. This decision comes as a surprise, as Brogdon recently signed with the New York Knicks and was projected to be a reserve guard in their backcourt rotation heading into the season.
Just two years ago, he was an impactful piece for the Blazers, averaging 15.7 points, 5.5 assists, and 3.8 rebounds. He was Portland's most efficient shooter that 2023-24 season, connecting on 41.2% of his attempts from beyond the arc.
