This was one of the lightest number of players to announce their retirements, with just 9 of a possible 45 saying they will leave the MBA following this season.
Only 6 of those 9 are currently on rosters, and only 2 players were starters at the time of retirement rolls.
The biggest losses were those two starters, with Splash Gordon, the league leader in scoring at the time of his announcement, leaving Philly and longtime forward and current Seattle starter Frog Morton also hanging it up.
Morton is one of three ancient MBA players who will retire, the others being Ape Con Myth of Milwaukee and the man who holds the all-time consecutive games played record, Wawa Wewa of Charleston.
No team lost more than one player to retirement and four teams did not lose anyone.
