Joe Johnson had no plans to retire after his 17th NBA season but, being left without a contract, he had no choice. He didn’t give up.
The 38-year-old wing won the Big 3’s Most Valuable Player award, championship and may parlay that into a NBA contract after a one-year hiatus from the league.
The Detroit Pistons are one of three teams that will give Johnson a tryout this week. The Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets will also host Johnson, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
Johnson’s illustrious 17-year career has been nothing short of consistent.
