I'm not really surprised. I never had a feeling he would make it back as a full-time player. The 24-minute max last year (before he injured himself again) basically gave it away for me. He was supposedly going to play cautiously, strengthen the ankle/foot, and gradually increase the minutes after a certain period of time, but truthfully, that injury should've already healed up enough for him to play over half a game. When you factor in his weight and the ongoing problems he was having, this just doesn't shock me. Once the rumors started pouring in that he was thinking about retiring, well, that was it for me. If the injury is that bad, after the rehabilitation time he has had two or three separate times, he wasn't coming back.
