Lamb, 10-year NBA vet, retires from basketball
Jeremy Lamb announced his retirement from basketball via Instagram on Wednesday.
“Basketball has been good to me throughout my entire life, so this decision didn’t come easy, but I have decided to retire from the game that has given me everything,” Lamb wrote in the post.
He was drafted by the Houston Rockets with the 12th pick in the 2012 NBA draft before getting traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of the deal that sent James Harden to Houston.
Lamb headed to Charlotte in the 2015-16 season after three years with the Thunder. With the Hornets, he carved out a key role by averaging 11.9 points and 23 minutes per game through four seasons. On March 24, 2019, Lamb sunk a buzzer-beating half-court heave to defeat the Toronto Raptors.
Lamb’s most recent stint in the NBA came with the Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings in the 2021-22 season. He averaged 10.1 points and 3.6 rebounds over a 10-year NBA career.
At UConn, Lamb won the 2011 NCAA championship alongside Kemba Walker and Shabazz Napier. He averaged 14.1 points in 75 games with the Huskies.
