Sooner or later, every professional basketball player’s career comes to an end. For Todd MacCulloch, that day came earlier than expected. 76ers President and General Manager Billy King officially announced on Sept. 22 that MacCulloch will retire from the game of basketball due to foot neuropathy, a condition that has plagued the 7-foot-0 center much of the last two years.
“I was hoping that we’d be talking about this 10 to 12 years down the road, but we’re here today,” said King. “I think for Todd he’s still going to be a big part of our family, and I think he’ll add a lot to the organization in other capacities, but it just won’t be on the basketball court.”
