With the Atlanta Hawks not among the 22 teams poised to return to action in July, Vince Carter’s career is over. The forward had announced he would retire after the season, and does not appear set to change his mind despite the abrupt way the Hawks’ campaign will end.

Trae Young, who spent the first two years of his career playing with Carter, paid tribute to his mentor on Wednesday after the news became official.
