RETIREMENT: Harpring unsure about his future

Matt Harpring | Jazz
Matt Harpring told The Salt Lake Tribune Monday that he will decide before the start of training camp whether to play his 12th NBA season.

"The bad ankle is on the same leg as the bad knee," Harpring said. "So it was a problem (last season). It was a very big problem. And it still is a big problem. ... What I really lost was the mobility. It just doesn't move and bend like it's supposed to and that becomes a problem when you're trying to play a sport like basketball."

"My plan is to let the Jazz know fairly soon. I don't want to handicap them. We've been in discussions. We've had open lines of communication. So they know how I feel. I've been giving them updates."
