Marcin Gortat, 33, is considering retirement when his contract with the Wizards expires after the 2018-19 season. On Friday before the Washington Wizards defeated the Orlando Magic, 125-119, Gortat considered his basketball mortality. Later in the evening, Gortat further explained how his station in life will play a role in any future decisions. “The way I’m feeling right now, probably yes,” Gortat responded, when asked directly if he would like to retire at the end of his contract. Earlier this month, Gortat, the only Polish player in the NBA, was quoted in a publication from his home country, ‘Przeglad Sportowy’ (translated as Sports Review).
