The Big Ticket is finally starting to see an end to it all. After three different teams and over 20 years in the league, Kevin Garnett is unsure if he will be able to play to his best ability this last year in his contract.
A right knee injury took him out of the latter half of the regular season last year, so it is hard to judge if he can make a fluid comeback. Even KG is having an uneasy time gauging what he wants next year.
“I'd really like to play next year 'cause I'd like to go out knowing we got into the playoffs… I don't know if I can.” said Garnett according to Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor.
The 6'11” power forward managed to secure himself an NBA title with the Boston Celtics back in 2008, but it would mean the world to him to bring a championship to the Wolves franchise. They drafted him back in 1995 where he rose to be their franchise icon, so the decision to play out his career here complimented with a ring or even deep playoff run would mean a lot to him.
“He's a little torn, I think,” Andy Miller, Garnett's longtime agent said. “It's the age-old question of mind over matter. I'm sure his mind is telling him he's able to play. But can his body follow?”
