Adonal Foyle calls it quits
Basketball Betting Lines
08/17/2010 - Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran center Adonal Foyle has announced his retirement.
Foyle did not play last season for Orlando after undergoing knee surgery in October. He appeared in only 10 games during the 2008-09 season with the Magic and Memphis.
The Colgate product spent his first 10 seasons with Golden State and is the Warriors' all-time leader in blocked shots with 1,140. He is also fifth on their all-time list for offensive rebounds and sixth for defensive rebounds.
"I have loved every minute of the game," said Foyle in a statement released by the Magic. "Retiring is bittersweet as my happiest memories are with the game. I'm looking forward to spending more time on humanitarian issues and mentoring the young basketball players who may need a voice of experience as they embark on their NBA careers."
In 733 career NBA games, including 269 starts, Foyle had career averages of 4.1 points and 4.7 rebounds. He was selected by the Warriors with the eighth overall pick of the 1997 NBA Draft.
Foyle, a native of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, has built or refurbished basketball courts in urban areas to provide safe places to play for more than 3,000 youth.
