John Wall is calling it a career. On Tuesday, the former Kentucky basketball standout announced his retirement, ending a playing career that saw him become one of the best players on the planet before injuries robbed him of his prime.

Washington selected Wall at No. 1 overall in 2010 after he spent one season with the Kentucky Wildcats. He was part of head coach John Calipari's first recruiting class in 2009. The five-time NBA All-Star's last action in the league came during the 2022-23 campaign when he appeared in 34 games for the LA Clippers.
