Darren Collison revealed that he never seriously considered coming out of retirement to sign with either the Los Angeles Lakers or Los Angeles Clippers.
“To keep it 100, they overhyped the whole thing. Like, I wasn’t even thinking about coming back," Collison said on the Minute Til 6 podcast.
Collison retired during the 2019 offseason citing religious reasons.
"While I still love basketball, I know there is something more important, which is my family and my faith," Collison wrote for The Undefeated at the time. "I am one of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and my faith means everything to me. I receive so much joy from volunteering to help others and participate in a worldwide ministry. The joy I feel is unmatched."
