Nick Collison: Retiring from basketball
Collison announced Thursday that he is retiring from professional basketball, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.
Collison just wrapped up his 14th NBA season, all of which came with the Seattle/Oklahoma City franchise, but he became nothing more than a veteran presence for the team over his last two seasons, appearing in just 35 total games. Collison finishes his NBA career having played the third most games in franchise history and accumulated 4,701 rebounds, which is the fourth most Seattle/Oklahoma City history.

Thunder's Nick Collison: Appears in one preseason game
Collison played just under seven minutes in his only appearance this preseason.

This, paired with Collison's sharp decrease in playing time over the past two seasons, makes it unlikely for Collison to see a significantly increased role this season.

Thunder's Nick Collison: Re-signs with Thunder
Collison signed a one-year deal Friday with the Thunder, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.
Collison has spent his entire 15-year career with the Thunder franchise, and it appears the 2017-18 season will be his last. It's assumed that his contract is for the veteran minimum, as Collison's role on the court has diminished over the past couple of seasons, but the Thunder no doubt see the power forward as an important veteran presence on the team.
