September 16, 1977 - 13 months after being traded to the #AtlantaHawks, #GeoffPetrie is planning to retire from the
@nba.com.

Petrie, the @trailblazers.bsky.social all-time leading scorer, was unable to play during the 1976/77 season due to a knee injury.

Petrie informed #Hawks GM #MikeStoren his decision this past week according to the #AtlantaConstitution before being reported today. "I tried to play basketball heavy in late July," Petrie said, adding, "but I realized I there was no way I could compete in the #NBA anymore." Despite his injury, the Hawks offered a contract to Petrie, but he refused to sign, saying, "I couldn't accept it, it would have been dishonest."
