Hill retires after 19-year career

Los Angeles Clippers forward Grant Hill announced his retirement Saturday after a 19-year career in NBA.

“I’m glad to say I’m done. I’m officially retired, moving on from playing. I had a great run. I’m announcing it now. I’ve been hinting at it the last few years. You get to a point where you just don’t want to do it anymore but I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve loved it.”

Hill, 40, signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Clippers last year but had alluded several times at the end of this season that he would retire over the summer.
