Vince Carter 'officially done' after 22 years in NBA

Carter, 43, announced his retirement on The Ringer's "Winging It With Vince Carter" podcast, saying he is "officially done playing basketball professionally."

Carter initially announced last year, when he signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Hawks, that 2019-20 would be his final season in the NBA.

But the eight-time All-Star had not addressed his playing status since the NBA season was suspended March 11 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The NBA announced earlier this month that it would resume its season with 22 teams at Walt Disney World in July. But the Hawks (20-47), who own the league's fourth-worst record, are among the eight teams not included in the NBA's restart, meaning Carter's season -- and career -- ended in March.
