Ben Wallace considering retirement at the end of the season

According to Vincent Goodwill of the Detroit News, Pistons veteran center Ben Wallace is considering retirement at the end of the season.

Wallace, who played in Detroit’s 107-105 loss to the Washington Wizards Tuesday night doesn’t know if the final six games of the Pistons’ season will be his last.

“That’s always been the case, the last couple of years,” said Wallace, 37. “When the season is over with, I’ll see how my body feels. See if I can get my strength back. If can help this team, maybe I’ll come back.”

Wallace still has one year left on his contract ($1.9 million) but after the death of his brother, the losing and the uncertainty of an NBA season next year he is starting to reconsider and question his commitment to the game.

“I’d definitely like to honor (the contract),” Wallace said. “But I have to do what’s best for me as far as my body.

“My legs are feeling good. Let me run up and down the court a little bit, see if I need to do some more work or sit my butt down.”

“There’s no use in going out there, hurting myself,” he said. “I’m not getting any younger. My hair doesn’t turn gray, it turns white (laughs).”
