Zach Randolph is done with professional basketball. Randolph, who was an All-Star with Memphis Grizzlies, recently told TMZ Sports that he is done with trying to return to NBA.

TMZ’s journalist asked Randolph whether he is thinking about a comeback, and the 38-year-old answered with a definite “no.”

Randolph most recently played with Sacramento King, where he spent two seasons. In his second season, 2018/19, he failed to make a single appearance, with the team focusing on younger players. He was traded to Dallas Mavericks back in February, but the team opted to waive him several days after.

Over the course of 17 seasons in NBA, Zach Randolph also played with Portland Trail Blazers, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Clippers. He has two All-Star appearances and one All-NBA Third Team honor, while winning the NBA Most Improved Player award in 2004.

Randolph’s career averages include 16.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
