J.J. Redick Finishes NBA Career with Mavs, Announces Retirement
DALLAS - The Dallas Mavs late in the 2021 NBA season acquired guard J.J. Redick with hopes he’d be “the final piece.”
Instead, with Redick announcing his retirement on Tuesday after 15 years in the league, it turned out to be his final hurrah.
Redick made the announcement on his Old Man and the Three podcast.
The New Orleans Pels dealt Redick to Dallas prior to the March 25 trade deadline. His need to undergo surgery to repair an Achilles injury prevented him from being a contributor to the Luka Doncic-led Mavs.
