Veteran guard Ray Allen has weighed his options throughout the 2014-15 season, but the two-time NBA champion announced on Wednesday that he will not suit up during the current campaign.
According to a press release on TandemSE.com, the 39-year-old free agent has decided to take the rest of the season off before considering his options for 2015-16:
Over the past several months, I have taken a lot of time to deliberate what is best for me. 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 offseason, to reassess my situation, spend time with my family and determine if I will play in the 2015-16 season.
Allen spent the past two seasons as a member of the Miami Heat alongside LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. He had a great deal of success there, but rather than re-signing or catching on with another team, Allen has remained on the sidelines in 2014-15.
Many assumed that the 10-time NBA All-Star would eventually sign with a contender, but he is staying out of the fray despite the fact that his agent, Jim Tanner, claims there have been plenty of inquiries.
"Ray has received enormous interest from a number of NBA teams throughout this season," Tanner said. "We will communicate with interested teams as Ray makes a decision for the 2015-16 season."
Allen will be 40 next season, and while he may not be the same player he once was, he can still be a contributor to a winning cause.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, Allen is far and away the NBA's all-time leader in three-point field goals made
