Layshia Clarendon, the first openly transgender and nonbinary player in the WNBA, has retired. The 33-year-old Los Angeles Sparks guard announced their retirement in a post on Instagram.

“The lesson I’ve been learning this last year is that everything comes to an end. The time has come for my basketball career to end. I am deeply at peace with this choice as my mind, body, and spirit know unequivocally that it’s time to move on,” Clarendon, who uses she/her, he/him, and they/them pronouns, wrote. “The saying is that athletes have 2 deaths. Our careers and our true last breaths. I can tell you, I have been deeply in mourning over this loss. I’ve loved this game with every ounce of my being.”
