Did Austin Rivers retire from basketball and I just missed it?

[–] Intelligent_Pain_174@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He didn't retire. No team wanted him. He was whining about the Wolves not resigning him after he was one of the best defensive players in the NBA and a great leader/mentor last season. He made a comment about how he didn't even complain about not being allowed to show he is still an "elite" offensive player in the league the past few seasons.

As a Wolves fan, lol.

Austin was unplayable from the moment Mo Bamba entered his head until the end of the season.

Are you disagreeing with Austin Rivers own assessment of his season?

As someone who watched a lot of Wolves games last year, I really never expected any of his shots to go in. I was happy when his shot hit the rim softly enough not to lead to a fast break for the other team.
