INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Indiana Pacers guard Reggie Miller, considered one of the top shooters in NBA history, plans to retire at the end of the season.
Miller, who turns 40 in August, told Pacers' Coach Rick Carlisle of his decision Thursday evening, the Indianapolis Star reported.
"It's not a shock," Carlisle said. "I guess it's a sobering dose of reality that this is the last season to see one of the game's greatest players."
The sharpshooter's sister, Cheryl Miller, also reported her brother's plans on the TNT cable network.
"(Wednesday) I spoke to Reggie, and after 18 seasons with the Indiana Pacers, this will definitely be his last season," she said.
Reggie Miller is the league's all-time leader in three-point shots made (2,505) and attempted (6,321), and tops the Pacers' in 13 career categories, including scoring, assists and steals.
Miller, who played in 131 playoff games, is known for some of the NBA's most memorable clutch-shooting performances.
His playoff heroics are legendary. He once scored eight points in less than nine seconds to lift his team to victory.
