NBA ref Holtkamp-Sterling retires, citing health
Briefly

"My medical retirement is all about my knees. It was really sad to me to bump up against physical limitations, truly. And I think it can be really tempting to sort of live in a space where you think everything is solvable and fixable. But truly, my knees just had reached the point where the miles on my joints, I couldn't roll back the odometer on them."
"In some ways it feels a bit like a fever dream where you look back and you go, 'What incredibly good fortune to be part of the work that I believe was going to happen anyway.' The NBA's commitment to forward progress, to social justice, to moving sport forward in so many important and nuanced ways ... that movement started well before me and is going to just continue way beyond."
