John Wall has called it a career.

The five-time NBA All-Star officially announced his retirement after 11 NBA seasons with a video posted to social media on Tuesday.

"Today, I'm stepping off of the court, but not away from the game," Wall said. "Basketball will always be in my life, and new opportunities present themselves. I feel now is the time to walk confidently into my next chapter."
