Steve Albert has called his final game for the Phoenix Suns.
Albert announced his retirement from broadcasting on Tuesday. He’s been the play-by-play voice of the Suns on television since 2012.
Albert’s 45-year career includes 13 years with the New Jersey Nets, five with the Golden State Warriors and a season with the New Orleans Hornets.
In his statement, Albert cited the travel that comes with an 82-game schedule as an important component of his decision.
“After 45 years in sportscasting, including the past five years as television play-by-play announcer for the Phoenix Suns, I have decided to step away from the business.
