Twelve-year NBA veteran Keyon Dooling has decided to call it a career. The Celtics waived the veteran guard on Thursday, and according to his agent, he's retiring:

"Keyon has decided that he has given the NBA 12 good years and that it's time to pursue other interests and spend more time with his family. He will never forget his time in Boston with the Celtics."

Dooling spent last season with the Boston Celtics, where he averaged 4.0 points and 1.1 assists in just over 14 minutes per game.

He played for five other NBA teams in his career, including the Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, New Jersey Nets and Milwaukee Bucks. He'll retire averaging 7.0 points and 2.2 assist per game for the course of 12 seasons. Dooling was the 10th overall pick in the 2000 NBA Draft.
