Rasheed Wallace announces retirement

New York Knicks forward Rasheed Wallace announced his retirement from the NBA on Wednesday after injuries ruled him out of this season's playoffs. The 38-year-old originally retired in 2010 but made a comeback last year, joining the Knicks on a one-season deal. However, injuries limited his playing time and he had already been ruled out of the playoffs, which start this weekend, because of a foot problem.
