Former Alabama and Memphis guard Jahvon Quinerly announced Saturday he's retiring from basketball.

"I made the decision to let go of the game of basketball, which has greatly shaped who I am since I could remember," he wrote on Instagram. "This game has opened a plethora of doors for me and for that I will forever be grateful, but God has chosen a different path for me.

"Even while I've accomplished some incredible things, had priceless experiences, and formed friendships for life, on the other side of that I've experienced some of my lowest moments.
