[cavsfan817]

Hedo Turkoglu, who played 15 seasons in the NBA, has announced his retirement.

“I am very thankful and grateful for the opportunity to live out my dream and play in the NBA,†said Turkoglu. “I will always remember my teammates, coaches, staff members and all of the fans who made my career so wonderful for myself and my family.â€

Turkoglu appeared in 997 regular season games (571 starts) during his 15-year NBA career with Sacramento, San Antonio, Orlando, Toronto, Phoenix and the L.A. Clippers, averaging 11.1 ppg., 4.0 rpg. and 2.8 apg. in 26.8 minpg., while shooting .384 (1,246-3,246) from three-point range. He has also appeared in 109 career playoff outings (72 starts), averaging 9.7 ppg., 3.8 rpg. and 2.6 apg. in 27.4 minpg.

Had an unreal career stretch in Orlando. Will never forgive him for being a catalyst in the destruction of the 2009 Cavs. He was definitely unique and one of the premier stretch 4s in the league for a few years.
