After an 11-year WNBA career, former UConn women’s basketball star Renee Montgomery announced her retirement from basketball on Tuesday.
“I enjoyed all 11 years of it. I was one of those players that I enjoyed my time,” she said on her Remotely Renee podcast. “It was fun and I know it’s cliche to say because everybody always says it but I really do plan on staying around the game, staying around everything involving basketball. It’s in me, so I’m gonna do it.”
In June, Montgomery opted out of the 2020 WNBA season to be a “catalyst” for social justice reform.
