San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, 41, announced Monday that he is retiring.
The landscape in San Antonio has changed with trading of Kawhi Leonard and the retirement of Ginobili.
"Today, with a wide range of feelings, I'm announcing my retirement from basketball," he said in a tweet. "It's been a fabulous journey. Way beyond my wildest dreams."
Ginobili, a future Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, had been working out regularly at the Spurs' practice facility as he considered his decision to retire.
The Spurs had been hopeful that Ginobili would want to return for a 17th season and allowed him to take all the time he needed to make a decision, league sources had told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. They thanked Ginobili in a tweet and video Monday.
