3-time NBA champion Danny Green retires
Veteran swingman Danny Green is retiring from the NBA after 15 seasons, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Green confirmed his decision on social media.
The 37-year-old is just one of four players in the history of the league to win a title with three separate teams, joining Robert Horry, John Salley, and LeBron James. Green first won the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2013-14 with the San Antonio Spurs before back-to-back triumphs in 2019 and 2020 with the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers.
Green last played for the Philadelphia 76ers in their first two games of the 2023-24 campaign but finished without a point in just over a combined 18 minutes. He was waived in November as a result of the James Harden trade.
Green averaged 8.7 points and 3.4 rebounds across 15 seasons. He shot 40% from deep, including a career-best 45.5% during his lone year in Toronto. The North Carolina product also won a national title in his 2008-09 senior season.
