Bruce BowenAccording to the Chris and Jason show on ESPN 1250 in San Antonio, Bruce Bowen will hold a press conference tomorrow at Yardley's Spa announcing his retirement.

It was reported that he declined an offer by the Celtics this offseason and with the Spurs giving roster spots to Malik Hairston and a few of their other offseason acquisitions, Bowen would likely not find any playing time behind Richard Jefferson and Michael Finley and the Spurs are already over the luxury tax.

There is a chance Bowen could come out of retirement if the Spurs suffer an injury or need a defender in the playoffs.

The press conference is slated for 2 p.m. tomorrow and we'll be sure to update you as we have more information.

I've said it for the last 3 years - Bruce has been a player coach for some time. It is now appropriate and fitting and necessary for him to become a full time assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs.

Bruce Bowen has given the Spurs a lot over the years, and for (relatively!) modest contracts. He's one of those unsung heroes who have been a rock for the Spurs behind the Big Three, without necessarily the big stat lines. He undoubtedly lost a step or two in the past couple of seasons, so being included in the RJ trade is perfectly understandable, yet I'd love to see him back even if it's just as an injury replacement or a coaching post. I'm just glad he won't be back to haunt us wearing another team's shirt working his suffocating defense on TP, Manu or RJ! smilies/smiley.gif
