Chris Webber Returns to Golden State Warriors

Looks like Webber's comeback with the Warriors is about to end, as is his colourful career.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Chris Webber is ending his comeback attempt with the Golden State Warriors and will retire after 15 seasons in the NBA. Warriors spokesman Raymond Ridder said Webber will make the announcement at a news conference Wednesday. The news was first reported Tuesday by ESPN.com.

Webber played only nine games with the Warriors before being sidelined by a bum left knee that's hampered him in recent years.

Webber was the most prominent member of the Fab Five at Michigan and played for Golden State, Washington, Sacramento, Philadelphia and Detroit in his NBA career.
