The Houston Rockets and forward AJ Griffin agreed to a buyout earlier in the NBA season.

On Saturday, Griffin said in a YouTube video that he was indeed retiring from the game, announcing his intention to go into “full-time ministry.”

“I gave up basketball to follow Jesus,” he said in the video.

“I know that in a lot of people’s eyes, that seems like a loss.

But I just wanted to let you guys know that I’m super excited because I truly get to serve God.” (CNN)
