[Saba Sports News] After an 11-season career in the NBA, former top-3 pick Otto Porter Jr. has decided to retire. He shared this news on Monday through the Utah Jazz, the last team he played for, which coincidentally had waived him just hours before his retirement announcement.
Porter expressed gratitude for his NBA journey, highlighting the pinnacle of winning an NBA Championship but acknowledged that his physical condition no longer meets his personal standards for professional play.
Drafted third overall in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards, Porter evolved into a vital player, securing a substantial contract and contributing significantly to the Warriors’ 2022 championship success, including playing crucial minutes and starting in three playoff games.
