MacCulloch Officially Ends Basketball Career

Todd MacCulloch of the Philadelphia 76ers has made his retirement official. The former University of Washington suffered a crushed nerve in his left foot on February 2nd, 2003 and hasn’t played since.

"I wish it could go on longer," he said. "On the other hand, I was fortunate to play a little bit and have some success."

In his short career, the 7-footer overachieved many analysts expectations having his best season with the Nets in 2001-02 where he averaged 9.7 points and 6.1 rebounds on route to reaching the NBA Finals.

A true center with great hands and solid fundamentals, Todd MacCulloch will be missed.

This isn’t his first trip to the NBA, Davis appeared in four games for the Hawks last season averaging 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in his short stint.

With Philadelphia already boasting a bulbous roster, the adding of Davis may give some indication as to whether center Todd MacCulloch might retire.
