  10/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gay announced his retirement from professional basketball Tuesday in an essay posted on The Players' Tribune. After being cut by the Warriors during training camp last October, the 38-year-old Gay had been a free agent for the past year before he decided to officially close the books on a 17-year NBA career. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, Gay finished third in the Rookie of the Year balloting and went on to average 15.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 three-pointers, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks in 1,120 career games across stops with the Grizzlies, Raptors, Kings and Jazz. With 17,642 career points, Gay ranks 91st on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

  Gay agreed to a one-year deal with the Warriors on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Gay was traded twice this offseason before being waived by the Thunder in mid-July. The veteran will now get a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp. Gay averaged at least 10 points per game in 15 straight seasons to start his career, but he's seen his production dip in recent years and posted career-low marks across the board in 2022-23. He averaged just 5.2 points per game over 56 contests with no starts last season.

  07/20/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Thunder waived Gay on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. After being dealt to the Hawks earlier in the offseason and then getting re-routed to Oklahoma City in another trade, Gay will become a free agent without having ever donned a Thunder uniform. The 36-year-old appeared in 56 games with Utah last season, averaging 5.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 14.6 minutes. Though he's well past his prime, Gay could receive interest on the open market from contending teams in need of a veteran big man off the bench.
