Bucks' Marvin Williams: Retires after Game 5
Marvin Williams announced his retirement from the NBA after the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated by the Heat on Tuesday following Milwaukee's 103-94 loss in Game 5, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.Williams will step away from the game after 15 seasons in the NBA. After entering the professional ranks following his freshman season at North Carolina, Williams was selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. He began his career with the Hawks, with whom he played for seven seasons while averaging 11.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists. He then spent two years in Utah before moving on to Charlotte and, eventually, Milwaukee. Though never an All-Star, Williams' longevity is rare, and he retires with the 90th-most games played and the 32nd-lowest turnover rate in NBA history.

Bucks' Marvin Williams: Logs 20 minutes against Indiana
Marvin Williams went for four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 win over the Pacers.Williams appears to have leapfrogged Ersan Ilyasova on the power forward depth chart, as the latter was left out of the rotation entirely in this one. Williams has earned at least 16 minutes in eight of nine appearances since joining the Milwaukee Bucks. Still, the 33-year-old veteran hasn't hit double figures in scoring once yet for Milwaukee, and he's at best a dart throw in daily leagues.
