Indiana Pacer guard Reggie Miller will retire after this season, his sister, Cheryl, reported Thursday night on TNT.
"Over the last couple of weeks there has been a lot of speculation on whether or not this will be Reggie Miller's last season," Cheryl Miller said. "Yesterday I spoke to Reggie, and after 18 seasons with the Indiana Pacers, this will definitely be his last season."
Miller, 39, has been one of the league's best outside shooters during a career that has included five All-Star appearances, 131 playoff games and a trip to the NBA Finals.
Two weeks ago, Miller angrily shot down another TNT reporter's story that he was retiring.
Miller holds NBA records for most three-pointers made (2,371) and attempted (5,987) and is the all-time leading scorer in Pacer history.
