Report: Manu Ginobili ‘seriously considering’ retirement

Manu Ginobili

Longtime San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili has been working out with the team this summer and given indications that he plans to return for a 17th NBA season, but that is apparently not a guarantee.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Ginoboli is planning to meet with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich this week and is “seriously considering retirement.” Ginobili has not yet made a decision, and the Spurs are reportedly willing to let him take as much time as he needs.

Ginobili, 41, is under contract for $2.5 million next season and proved that he was still able to produce in 2017-18. He appeared in 65 games and averaged 8.9 points and 2.5 assists while playing just 20.0 minutes per game.

Ginobili is the second-oldest active NBA player right now behind Vince Carter, but he has been an important part of a Spurs franchise that has won multiple championships. We have already seen one billboard urging him to return, and many fans are hoping he decides to play one more season.
