Basketball Betting Lines
08/17/2010 -
Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran center Adonal Foyle has announced his
retirement.
Foyle did not play last season for Orlando after undergoing knee surgery in
October. He appeared in only 10 games during the 2008-09 season with the Magic
and Memphis.
The Colgate product spent his first 10 seasons with Golden State and is the
Warriors' all-time leader in blocked shots with 1,140. He is also fifth on
their all-time list for offensive rebounds and sixth for defensive rebounds.
"I have loved every minute of the game," said Foyle in a statement released by
the Magic. "Retiring is bittersweet as my happiest memories are with the game.
I'm looking forward to spending more time on humanitarian issues and mentoring
the young basketball players who may need a voice of experience as they embark
on their NBA careers."
In 733 career NBA games, including 269 starts, Foyle had career averages of
4.1 points and 4.7 rebounds. He was selected by the Warriors with the eighth
overall pick of the 1997 NBA Draft.
Foyle, a native of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, has built or refurbished
basketball courts in urban areas to provide safe places to play for more than
3,000 youth.
