After a 15-year-long career featuring seven All-Star appearances and five All-NBA (second/third) Team nods, LaMarcus Aldridge has called it a career.
On Thursday morning, the big man unexpectedly announced his retirement after experiencing an irregular heartbeat in his final game on April 10th. In a statement released to the press, Aldridge shared the following: “Though I’m better now, what I felt with my heart that night was still one of the scariest things I’ve experienced. With that being said, I’ve made the difficult decision to retire from the NBA. For 15 years, I’ve put basketball first, and now, it is time to put my health and family first.”

In a statement issued Thursday morning, Aldridge, a seven-time All-Star with Portland and San Antonio, laid out the issue and his decision.
• The Bulls snapped their six-game losing streak in style on Easter Sunday, beautifully blending the strides they showed in their previous two competitive efforts against the Suns and Jazz. They recorded single-digit turnovers for the third-straight game (the first time they’ve done that all season) and controlled the pace of play through newfound physicality and post play. The team’s 22 3-point attempts marked a season-low, while their 30 free-throw attempts tied their fourth-highest mark of the season. From start to finish it was the most comfortable this team looked with Nikola Vucevic on the court, and while we should factor in that the Nets are not particularly known for their defense (25th in the league), this was still a game where it looked like something finally clicked for the revamped Bulls.
