Veteran guard Darren Collison has decided to retire from the NBA after 10 seasons primarily to concentrate on helping the less fortunate through his Jehovah's Witnesses faith, he told ESPN's The Undefeated in a letter.
"While I still love basketball, I know there is something more important, which is my family and my faith," Collison wrote Friday. "I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and my faith means everything to me. I receive so much joy from volunteering to help others and participate in a worldwide ministry. The joy I feel is unmatched. With that being said, I have decided to retire from the NBA."
Collison's contract for next year was $10 million.
