Michael Dickerson Retires By The Associated Press Wire Services MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Memphis Grizzlies guard Michael Dickerson retired from the NBA on Saturday after a five-year career that was stalled by injuries. Dickerson averaged 15.4 points and 2.6 assists in 212 games with the Houston Rockets and the Vancouver/Memphis Grizzlies. But he played in only 10 games the past two season because of health problems, including a serious groin strain. "This is a sad day for me," Dickerson said. "I am grateful to the entire Grizzlies organization for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout my career and especially the lengthy process to attempt to rehab my injuries." A member of Arizona's 1997 NCAA championship team, Dickerson was selected by Houston in the first round of the 1998 NBA draft. He was acquired by the Grizzlies in a 1999 trade.
Damn. I was always somewhat of a Dickerson fan. I respect him for retiring since he didn't try to hang on too long ie. Ewing/Olajuwon. Good luck Mike.
Sad story but you knew it would come eventually. It always sucks to see a promising career cut short like that.
