"The veteran guard put together a solid career during his run, but following a stretch of injuries, it was clear that the 32-year-old's best days were behind him. After an impressive stretch between stops with the Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics, where he earned NBA Rookie of the Year honors and a Sixth Man of the Year award during his run, Brogdon found himself in rebuilding situations that didn't exactly line up for his hopes to contend."
"However, Washington's goals were quickly hit with harsh reality when they realized the player they acquired was now just a shell of his former self this past season. Brogdon appeared in only 24 games with the Wizards and his inability to stay on the court not only made it impossible for the Washington to find a trade suitor ahead of the deadline, but left the team"
Malcolm Brogdon announced his retirement just before the NBA regular season after a series of injuries eroded his playing time and effectiveness. Brogdon earned NBA Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year honors earlier in his career with stops in Milwaukee, Indiana and Boston. He experienced a decline after joining the Portland Trail Blazers, appearing in 39 games and averaging 15.7 points, 5.5 assists and 3.8 rebounds, but struggled with availability. Washington acquired him hoping for veteran leadership and a potential trade asset, but he played only 24 games and availability issues prevented a February trade.
