Matt Barnes announces retirement from NBA after 15 years
That's all she wrote for Matt Barnes.
The 37-year-old announced in an Instagram post Monday that he's calling it a career after 15 years in the NBA, turning his attention to outside business ventures and his children.
Barnes was selected 46th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2002 draft but didn't see his first pro action until the second half of the 2003-04 season as a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, following a stint in the ABA.
The Grizzlies and Clippers are just two of the nine organizations he was a part of, as he also suited up for the Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic, and Los Angeles Lakers. His most notable run came with the Golden State Warriors, as a member of the "We Believe" roster in 2006-07 that upset the No. 1-seeded Dallas Mavericks in the opening round of the playoffs.
He most recently captured his only championship with Golden State after signing on a little over a month prior to the playoffs getting underway as a replacement forward when Kevin Durant got hurt.
Barnes averaged 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists across 926 regular-season appearances.
