""I have proudly given my mind, body and spirit to the game over the last few decades. With the many sacrifices it took to get here, I have received many rewards. "I am deeply grateful to have arrived to this point on my own terms and now to be able to reap the benefits of my career with my family and friends."
""He's been great. He has a steadiness about him that is fantastic, especially with us throwing a lot of new stuff at the group," Brown said. "He kind of takes it in stride and tries to figure it out and get everyone organized. He's been good on both ends of the floor. He shot the ball when he needs to shoot it. Drives when he needs to drive it. He's been solid defensively."
Malcolm Brogdon informed the Knicks of his decision to retire seven days before the regular-season opener after signing a one-year contract to serve as a key backup. He announced a transition out of his basketball career and expressed gratitude for the sacrifices and rewards of his career and for time with family and friends. Brogdon played nine NBA seasons, most recently with the Washington Wizards, and earned 2017 Rookie of the Year and 2023 Sixth Man of the Year honors. Knicks coach Mike Brown praised Brogdon's steadiness and veteran presence. No formal reason was given, though Brogdon faced multiple injuries and missed significant time last season due to an ankle issue.
