Malcolm Brogdon, projected to play a key backup role for the Knicks this season when he signed a one-year contract with them last month, has decided to retire from basketball.

Brogdon told the Knicks of his decision on Wednesday, just seven days before the start of the regular season.

"Today, I officially begin my transition out of my basketball career," Brogdon, 32, told ESPN in a statement. "I have proudly given my mind, body and spirit to the game over the last few decades. With the many sacrifices it took to get here, I have received many rewards.

"I am deeply grateful to have arrived to this point on my own terms and now to be able to reap the benefits of my career with my family and friends. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all who have had a place in my journey."
