Veteran Lou Williams isn’t ready to say goodbye to basketball just yet. According to Williams’ agent Wallace Prather, the 35-year-old intends to play in the 2022-23 NBA season and perhaps beyond.

“(Williams) is not pursuing retirement, and I’ll be proactive in talking to teams during free agency,” Prather told The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Williams spent the past season with the Atlanta Hawks. He played in 56 games, averaging 6.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.9 points per game. These were his lowest numbers since his sophomore season.

Despite struggles in 2021-22, Williams should have a market as a veteran-minimum player. While being a defensive liability, he is still only two seasons removed from averaging 18.2 points and 5.6 assists per game for the LA Clippers. It isn’t hard to see him being a valuable bench player for a younger team looking for some veteran experience.

Entering the league in 2005 as a second-round pick, Lou Williams suited up for six different franchises during his 17 seasons as a pro. He is considered among the best bench players in the history of the NBA, winning one NBA Sixth Man of the Year award as a member of the Toronto Raptors and two more with the LA Clippers. His career stats include 13.9 points, 2.2 boards, and 3.4 assists per game.

While the starters on any sports team might get most of the glory, it pays to be a backup sometimes, too.

Lou Williams, the Los Angeles Clippers’ sixth man and one of the best bench players in the history of the league, set the all-time record for points scored off of the bench in the Clippers’ 140-115 win over the Boston Celtics on Monday night.

Williams, who is now in his 13th season in the NBA, had a masterful performance on Monday, scoring 34 points in the Clippers rout.

He passed point guard Dell Curry to set the mark for points off of the bench with a basket in the fourth quarter of the win on Monday.

Despite being 32 years old, Williams has been one of the Clippers´ most important players this season. Despite only averaging 26 minutes per game, he has scored more than 20 points per game on average and served as a veteran presence on a Clippers team that has exceeded expectations.

Williams has been named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year twice in his career, once with the Raptors in 2015, and again with the Clippers last season.

He appears to be the favorite to take home the award this year as well.

It´s certainly not bad for a former 45th overall pick and a bench player. Williams has proven that the brightest stars in sports sometimes aren’t even starters.
