SALT LAKE CITY — Trevor Booker hadn’t intended on retiring from the NBA this year. Of course, this year hasn’t exactly played out the way anyone thought it would.
Booker spent his last year in the NBA — the 2017-18 season — on three different teams before he signed with a Chinese Basketball Association team last season. His international stint was cut short when he came back to the states to undergo surgery on his foot.
“I was looking to get back in the NBA this season, right before the playoffs, and then COVID-19 hit,” Booker said.
