Tony Parker will not return as a San Antonio Spurs next NBA Season (2018 - 2019). Parker signed with the Charlotte Hornets and agreed to a two-year, $10 million deal
Gregg Popovich, the San Antonio Spurs head coach and Tony Parker's mentor released a statement regarding the departure of Parker.
“It’s difficult to put into words how important Tony Parker has been to the Spurs franchise over the past two decades. From his first game in 2001 at age 19, TP has impressed and inspired us - day-after-day, game-after-game, season-after-season - with his passion, dedication and desire. We are grateful to Tony for 17 years of truly amazing memories. While the four championships, six All-Star appearances and four All-NBA selections highlight his resume, the biggest joy for me has been to have the pleasure of watching TP grow up before our eyes. All of us in the Spurs organization will miss having Tony in our program and wish him and his family the best as he continues his remarkable career in Charlotte.”
Parker, 36, was selected by the Spurs 28th overall in the 2001 NBA draft and has spent his entire professional career in San Antonio. He won four titles with the Spurs (2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014) and was the 2007 NBA Finals MVP. [via ESPN]
