Jared Dudley confirmed reports of his retirement on Tuesday afternoon via Twitter, announcing the end of his 14-year career. On Tuesday morning, reports began to surface first from longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein then from Shams Charania of The Athletic that Dudley would be joining the Dallas Mavericks’ coaching staff, putting an end to his playing days.
Dudley confirmed both aspects of that in a pair of tweets while also offering thanks to the Lakers, LeBron James, Anthony Davis and owner Jeanie Buss.
Man what a ride!
