Guard Cuttino Mobley is expected to retire because of a heart condition, 1050
ESPNRadio in New York has learned. An official announcement is expected
Wednesday night.


Mobley made the decision after going through a number of tests since he was
dealt from the Clippers to the Knicks in the Zach Randolph trade on Nov. 21.
Mobley retires as a Knick, even though he never played one game for them.

Mobley, 33, has played 11 years in which he averaged 16 points and 2.7
assists per game. He played with four teams before being dealt to New York.

When the Knicks signed off on the Randolph trade, they knew that Mobley
needed to have more tests on his heart. The Knicks still made the trade
largely because by dealing Randolph for Mobley and Tim Thomas, they cleared
Randolph's $17.3 million salary for 2010. This will allow them to make a run
at LeBron James and the rest of the 2010 free agent class.

Mobley reportedly was being tested for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is
the condition that took the lives of Reggie Lewis and Hank Gathers.



Knicks president Donnie Walsh said it's up to Mobley to make the call.

"He'll make the announcement,'' Walsh said. "I'm not going to presume."
