Ray Allen announced Wednesday he will not play this season but stopped short
of declaring himself retired, saying he will reassess his options next season.

"Over the past several months, I have taken a lot of time to deliberate what
is best for me," Allen said in a statement released by his agent.


Ray Allen will sit the rest of this season out and then re-evaluate his
options for playing next season.
"I've ultimately decided that I will not play this NBA season. I'm going to
take the remainder of this season, as well as the upcoming off-season, to
reassess my situation, spend time with my family and determine if I will play
in the 2015-16 season."

At the conclusion of the 2014 NBA Finals Allen made it clear he felt content
and was unsure he would play again. However, numerous teams made contract
offers and tracked him for months, in some cases leaving roster spots open
for when he indicated he was ready to play again.

Allen continued to work out at his home in Miami and at certain points in the
season, teams courting him felt confident he would rejoin the league for a
19th season. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who have three of Allen's former Miami
Heat teammates including LeBron James, were especially hopeful they could get
Allen to sign. James met with Allen personally in January as he was rehabbing
injuries in South Florida.

But while Allen kept the door open, teams started moving on around the trade
deadline as it started to appear Allen was indeed going to sit the season out
after he didn't make a commitment following the All-Star break. He made it
official in a release from his agency, Tandem.

"Ray has received enormous interest from a number of NBA teams throughout
this season," his agent, Jim Tanner said in the statement. "We will
communicate with interested teams as Ray makes a decision for the 2015-16
season."

Allen, who will turn 40 in July, is the NBA's all-time leader in 3-pointers
made in both the regular and postseasons. He finished last season strongly
for the Heat, averaging 9.3 points and shooting 39 percent from 3-point range
during 20 playoff games. In his career, he averaged 18.9 points and made
2,973 3-pointers while winning two championships.

On Tuesday, James passed Allen for No. 21 on the NBA's all-time scoring list,
a feat the superstar described as "humbling" because of the pair's close
relationship.


雷槍這季確定不打了 :(
