Sep 30, 2011 11:57 AM EDT

Zydrunas Ilgauskas has told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer that he will retire.

Ilgauskas spent the 10-11 NBA season with the Miami Heat after playing for the Cavaliers since 1997.

Ilgauskas was an All-Star in 2003 and 2005 after fighting back from foot injuries early in his career that limited him to 29 games over three seasons.

Sad he didn't get a ring but still a great player.

Can't say I'm surprised, although I thought he might leg it out 1 more year to try and get a ring. Yet, since 07-08 his minutes just drop more and more and I guess at some point you look at yourself a think that getting a ring isn't much if you didn't contribute as much as you used to.

Props to Big Z for having a solid career.

I thought I heard a few months ago that he picked up his player option. I guess he is retiring because of the lockout

Good, not great. He would have been great if he wasn't injured throughout his career.

He'll get his jersey retired by Cleveland if they do the right thing. What an underrated player and great competitor. Classy player as well. He will definitely be missed.
