Utaz Jazz forward Karl Malone has “pretty much” decided to retire after this season but refused to say Thursday when he officially will announce a decision.
Malone, 39, second on the NBA’s career scoring list and a 14-time All-Star, is entering his 18th season with the Utah Jazz. He will earn $19.25 million in the final year of his contract.

The exception can be used to sign another player or can be included as part of a trade.
