NBA Journey Comes to a Close
Doug McDermott has retired from the NBA after 12 seasons. The 34-year-old forward, selected 11th overall in the 2014 draft, appeared in 726 regular-season games and averaged 8.5 points while shooting 41 percent from three-point range, most often coming off the bench.
Path as a Journeyman Shooter
McDermott played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks, Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs before finishing with the Sacramento Kings, where he appeared in 71 games over his final two seasons from 2024 to 2026. His role remained consistent as a three-point specialist across seven teams total.
Standout College Career at Creighton
Before the NBA, McDermott starred at Creighton under his father Greg McDermott. He earned three All-American honors, helped the team reach four consecutive NCAA tournaments from 2010 to 2014, led the nation in scoring during the 2013-14 season and was named national player of the year as a senior in 2014. He finished with the fifth-most points in NCAA Division I men's basketball history, a mark now listed as seventh.
