Shane Battier: Plans To Retire
Battier is planning to retire at the end of the season, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis:
Battier had a farewell moment during Friday's game that seemed to solidify his already talked about plans to retire. He has seen a recent dip in minutes with various changes to the Heat's rotation that have bumped him out of the starting lineup. The veteran will look to close out his final season with another championship but will likely play a small role in doing so off the bench.
