Hoiberg went on free-agent visits with the Detroit Pistons and Phoenix Suns in recent months. The San Antonio Spurs, Hoiberg revealed Monday, also had interest.

"I had great meetings with the coaches. I had great meetings with the management," Hoiberg said. "What it came down to was when I met with the teams' medical staff, they all thought I had too much risk to play.

"After those visits — after also sending my records to the San Antonio Spurs and hearing the same thing from their doctor, having some concerns about me playing — I have decided to retire from the game of basketball."
