Wallace to retire
Boston Celtics forward Rasheed Wallace has announced that he will retire from the NBA.
Wallace limped through much of the NBA Finals and has been battling both knee and back problems.
He tried to speak to referees after the deciding Game 7, which many felt might have been a sign he would not return.
Head coach Doc Rivers said after the game that the felt as though Wallace left it all out on the court and was finished with his playing career.
The loss of Wallace will mean the Celtics have another hole to fill, but it will also open up valuable salary cap money.
