Ilgauskas said he will retire from professional basketball, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
In an interview with the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Ilgauskas said "Enough is enough. My body is beat up and I'm tired physically. There is no age limit, but everyone knows when it's time." This is surprising news, as Ilgauskas exercised his one-year option for the upcoming season. With the lockout hanging over everybody's head, it makes sense that Big Z wants to forgo the mess and get a jumpstart on his life after basketball.

It's pretty awesome that Big Z is both (a) 7-foot-3 and (b) 26-for-62 (41.9%) from three-point land over the last two years. Unfortunately, the correlation between awesomeness and fantasy relevance is not always 100%. Ilgauskas agreed to a two-year, $2.8 million contract with the Heat in July. He's a pretty old 35, though, and probably won't get the minutes to justify a place on your roster.
