After a month or so of “will he, won’t he?” Darren Collison has elected not to return to the NBA, per Adrian Wojnarowski. This comes as a surprise to many who had already gotten to the point of wondering which team would sign him. It had seemed to come down to the Clippers or the Lakers, with many pegging the Lakers as the favorite.
Collison retired unexpectedly last season after averaging 11 points and 6 assists in 28 minutes for the Indiana Pacers. A Jehovah’s Witness, he cited religious reasons for his retirement.
