Brandon Roy took one last shot at life as an NBA player last season, when he signed on to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The old Brandon Roy might have led the Timberwolves to a playoff run. This version of Brandon Roy may never walk or run pain-free.
Roy now sits on the brink of retirement, and according to Kevin Pelton, won’t admit it’s over, but does say “his basketball days are numbered.”
"My basketball days are done. That's no secret." – Brandon Roy

Reviewing the tape, I accidentally misquoted Brandon Roy. He said his basketball days are *numbered*, not done.

It’s definitely a downer to see a guy with the talent of Roy, who averaged 22.6 points a game, have to bow out the game so early.
