The Heat Team eliminated the Pacers.
After the game, Jermaine said he would retire this summer.
"It's time. When this season finished, I realized it was time to end my career. I'm honored to end my career as a Pacers player. For me, this is the best outcome!"
Su Wan heard about this the next day.
He wasn't very surprised by the news.
This year, Jermaine is already 35 years old.
For an interior player who has suffered a stress fracture, a 35-year-old body condition is actually about the same as 37 years old.
This can also be seen from Jermaine's condition this year.
Especially in the playoffs, he averaged only 8.4 points and 5 rebounds...
It's not just a matter of falling from the peak, but directly degrading to the "water dispenser" level.
After losing weight, his mobility became the reliance for all his abilities.
So, as his mobility gradually deteriorated with age, he could no longer take on a fixed rotation role on the Pacers' bench.
