Veteran forward Chandler Parsons has announced his retirement from the NBA. Parsons played in the league for nine seasons for four different teams. The 33-year-old was a mainstay role player during his time in the league.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported the news via Twitter on Tuesday.
Parsons was a second round selection of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets, for whom he played for four seasons. He also played for the Mavericks and Grizzlies before appearing for the last time in an Atlanta Hawks uniform in 2020.
Injuries suffered throughout his playing career plus receiving a “substantial” settlement stemming from a lawsuit following a 2020 car accident led to his retirement. He averaged 12.7 points per game during his career, along with 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
