Rasheed Wallace retires
Rasheed Wallace has retired from the NBA
Rasheed Wallace retired from the NBA today, according to NBA.com and Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix.
Chris Mannix tweeted a few minutes ago,”Rasheed Wallace has retired.”
This tweet was followed shortly by another tweet:
NBA.com first to report Wallace’s retirement. No surprise, Doc Rivers hinted as much after Finals.
Rasheed Wallace just finished his first season of a three year contract at the mid-level exception with the Boston Celtics. With his retirement, Wallace will have his contract voided and the Celtics will save about $13 million.
Shortly after the NBA Finals, Celtics coach Doc River told media that Wallace was seriously considering retirement. Wallace averaged 9 ppg and 4.1 rpg this season for the Boston Celtics. The Celtics reached the NBA Finals, but fell in seven games to the Los Angeles Lakers.

I read that Rasheed may be able to keep some of that money. The Celtics can only use what he doesn’t get. Is that true?

The entire salary will come off the salary cap if Rasheed officially retires. He has yet to do so, according to his agent.
