Minnesota Lynx's Maya Moore in action against the Seattle Storm in the first half of a WNBA basketball game, Sept. 10, 2013, in Seattle. Moore has officially decided to retire from playing basketball, making her announcement on Good Morning America on Monday, Jan. 16, 2023.
She announced her decision to retire on ABC's “Good Morning America.” Before Monday, Moore had been noncommittal about playing basketball again. “Just trying to learn a new rhythm outside of playing — I didn’t really wrestle with a desire to want to switch that pace up,” she said, later adding: “I wasn’t just sitting around wishing I was playing again. I just felt such a sense of purpose.”
Moore will be eligible for the Naismith Hall of Fame next year since she stopped playing four years ago, one of the rare athletes to leave their sport in the prime of their career. During her career, she was at the forefront of the Lynx becoming one of the first pro sports teams to fully embrace social activism, starting, when players wore black T-shirts that read, “Change Starts With Us.” Their message was prompted by fatal police shootings earlier that week of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana.
She finished her career as the Lynx franchise leader in scoring average, 3-point field goals made and steals and finished second in total points scored , field goals made , assists and blocks .
