Former Oklahoma City Thunder forward Gordon Hayward announced his retirement from basketball Thursday morning.

“God has blessed me with an amazing journey, one that has taken turns I couldn’t have expected or dreamed of as a kid in Brownsburg, Indiana,” Hayward said in a social media post.

Prior to the NBA, Hayward was the Horizon League Player of the Year for a Butler team that nearly knocked off Duke in the NCAA title game.

In 14 NBA seasons, Hayward averaged 15.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists, and was named an All Star in 2017 during his time with the Utah Jazz.

His announcement leaves Philadelphia’s Paul George as the only remaining active player from the 2010 NBA Draft class.

Following his early stint with the Jazz, with which he spent half his career, Hayward enjoyed stints with the Boston Celtics, the Charlotte Hornets and the Thunder.

Despite suffering a season-ending injury in his debut with the Celtics, Hayward still showed he had some gas in the tank, averaging 19.6 points in his first season with the Hornets. But after the 2018-19 season, his availability dipped.

His time in Oklahoma City was brief, dealt at the deadline for the first time in his career, though it turned sour just as quickly. Hayward, who displayed signs of being unsatisfied with his role prior to the postseason, fully expressed those sentiments during his exit interview.

Back in April, asked if he believed the version of him that once averaged double-figure points still existed, Hayward shrugged his shoulders, then alluding that it was difficult to say without playing the role he expected to have.

On Thursday, Hayward, who’d noted the difficulty in the distance between him and his family midseason with the move to OKC, chose to invest in his life at home.

“As I move to spend more time with my family as a father and husband, I look forward to new adventures and challenges, taking with me the lessons I’ve learned on the court that will guide me across my next chapters, both in business and in life,” Hayward wrote.
