Blake Griffin leaves the field permanently.
The former Boston Celtics player announced his retirement from the NBA in a heartfelt message reflecting on his long career.
“All of these experiences have made my 14 years in the league truly unforgettable and I can’t help but be grateful,” Blake wrote in an April 16 statement shared on his social media accounts. “Basketball has given me so much in this life, and I wouldn’t change a thing.”
The 35-year-old began his professional career with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2009 after being picked first overall in the NBA draft following a star turn at the University of Oklahoma. However, after eight seasons in Los Angeles, he was traded to the Detroit Pistons in 2018, ultimately playing for three seasons. Later in his career, he spent two seasons with the Brooklyn Nets before finishing his career with the Celtics during the 2022-2023 season.
