In a new Instagram post on Wednesday, 11-year veteran NBA forward Dorell Wright appears to have officially announced his retirement from basketball, per Kelly Iko of The Athletic. Drafted by the Heat in 2004 with the No. 19 selection out of high school, Wright played for six seasons in Miami. He won a title with the team in 2006, but he was not a part of the club’s regular rotation at that point. Wright also logged stops with the Warriors, Sixers, and Trail Blazers.
Wright’s final NBA game was an April 2016 playoff appearance for the Heat, during a blowout first-round game against the Hornets. He played two preseason games for the Clippers ahead of the 2016-17 season, before ultimately being waived by Los Angeles.
Since the conclusion of his tenure with the league, the 34-year-old Wright has played for various clubs throughout China and Europe.
