"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."
"The 32-year-old had played nine seasons in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers before one-year stops in Boston, Portland, and Washington. The 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year was also the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2023 with the Celtics. But the Knicks were Brogdon's fifth team in as many years, and the toll proved to be too much despite appearing to be a key part of New York's rotation this season."
"He had played in all four of the Knicks' preseason games after signing a one-year deal last month. His versatility to play both point and shooting guard had him primed for considerable minutes behind Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, considering new head coach Mike Brown is primed to roll with a far deeper roster compared to the one deployed by previous head coach Tom Thibodeau."
Malcolm Brogdon, 32, announced his retirement one week before the New York Knicks' season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He played nine NBA seasons with Milwaukee and Indiana, followed by one-year stops in Boston, Portland, and Washington. Brogdon was the 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year and the 2023 Sixth Man of the Year with the Celtics. He appeared in all four Knicks preseason games after signing a one-year deal and was expected to provide guard depth behind Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. Frequent team changes and the physical and personal toll prompted his decision. With Brogdon retiring, Miles McBride figures to be Brunson's immediate backup and Jordan Clarkson remains in the backcourt rotation.
