Tim Thomas to Retire?

Due to his wife’s illness, Thomas has decided not to return to the Mavs after all, and may hang up his sneakers for good. The Star-Telegram reports: “Tim Thomas has decided not to return to the Mavericks because of the situation with his ailing wife. Her condition, which Thomas and his family prefers to keep private, forced the 6-10 forward to stay with her much of last season … His agent, Bob Myers, said Tuesday that Thomas would not be rejoining the Mavericks. It is believed that Thomas may be leaning toward retirement after a 13-year career.”
