Former ROY and Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon Announces NBA Retirement

Malcolm Brogdon, the accomplished guard who earned Rookie of the Year in 2017 and Sixth Man of the Year in 2023, has announced his retirement from the NBA after nine seasons. Brogdon, who was in training camp with the New York Knicks on a non-guaranteed contract and performing well, decided to step away due to the physical and mental demands of another season, a decision influenced by his history of battling injuries. His career was marked by solid play on both ends of the court, averaging 15.3 points, 4.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds. Injuries, including foot issues red-flagged before the draft, limited him to 24 games last season and 39 the season prior. His retirement also resolved a roster decision for the hard-capped Knicks regarding him and Landry Shamet.
