SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Utah Jazz forward Matt Harpring says his comeback attempt to play this season is over and his career may be as well.
The 11-year veteran has never completely recovered from an infection that developed after ankle surgery in the summer of 2008. He played through the pain last season, but was excused from training camp this year so he could continue to try to rehabilitate at home in Atlanta.
The Jazz released a statement Thursday from Harpring, who says doctors have advised him not to try to return to the team.
Harpring says he has reluctantly come to the conclusion that at 33 years old with a long history of injuries, his body can\’t take the rigors of the NBA.
