Raptors 2019 title team member Danny Green retires from NBA

Former Toronto Raptors guard Danny Green has announced his retirement from the NBA.

The 37-year-old spent 15 years in the league, with a reputation for his “three-and-D” play and helping three teams to an NBA title, including the Raptors.

Green joined Toronto in 2018 when he was traded by the San Antonio Spurs alongside Kawhi Leonard for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and a protected 2019 first-round pick, a move that changed the course of Raptors history as they won their first-ever NBA title that season. He shot a career-high 45.5 per cent from three-point range, averaging 10.3 points across 80 regular-season games with Toronto.

He also won titles in 2013-14 with the Spurs — alongside Leonard — and with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2019-20.
