Jeremy Lin Announces Retirement

Former Golden State Warriors guard Jeremy Lin officially announced his retirement on Saturday through Instagram, closing the chapter on a remarkable career. Undrafted out of Harvard in 2010, Lin joined the Warriors and played 29 games in the 2010-11 season, averaging 2.6 points and 1.4 assists in limited minutes. Waived in December 2011, his future seemed uncertain until he signed with the New York Knicks, where the unforgettable “Linsanity” run was born. 

In February 2012, Lin exploded onto the scene, averaging 20.9 points and 8.4 assists while leading the Knicks to a 10-4 stretch, highlighted by a game-winning three against Toronto. That magical run cemented his place in basketball history. Lin went on to play for six more teams across nearly a decade-long NBA career, last appearing in 2019. His retirement ends a journey that inspired fans around the world.
