One of the most shocking news stories of the NBA this summer has been the recent announcement that AJ Griffin of the Houston Rockets has decided to step away from basketball at just 21 years old.
This has led the player and the Texas franchise to agree on a buy-out so that Griffin can free himself from his contract and retire from the NBA for undisclosed "personal and family reasons."
Griffin will be waived by the Rockets, and the player will forgive a significant portion of the $3.9 million owed to him for the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season.
A fleeting stint with the Rockets
The 16th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft was expected to be one of the most promising players of his class. His time with the Houston Rockets has been very brief, as he was traded to the franchise this summer and only managed to play 5 games in the Summer League.
