Jahvon Quinerly Ultimate Career Highlights (Villanova, Alabama & Memphis)

Former Villanova, Alabama and Memphis guard Jahvon Quinerly announced Saturday he's retiring from basketball. "I made the decision to let go of the game of basketball, which has greatly shaped who I am since I could remember," he wrote on Instagram. "This game has opened a plethora of doors for me and for that I will forever be grateful, but God has chosen a different path for me. "Even while I've accomplished some incredible things, had priceless experiences, and formed friendships for life, on the other side of that I've experienced some of my lowest moments. And as much as it pains me to type this, I can't continue this fight with something I am no longer in love with." He left for Alabama after one season and sat out the 2019-20 campaign to satisfy NCAA rules since his transfer came before the rule granting transfers immediate eligibility. The 6'1" guard became a valuable contributor for the Crimson Tide in a supporting role. He put up 11.7 points and 3.7 per contest over 98 appearances. He was the co-Sixth Man of the Year with Kentucky's Antonio Reeves in 2022-23 and won MVP of the SEC tournament in 2021 as Alabama outlasted LSU 80-79 in the final. Quinerly went undrafted this summer and didn't land an NBA contract as a free agent. While the odds of him carving out a career in the Association looked remote, going abroad and playing in an international league was a possibility. Instead, the New Jersey native is walking away from the game for good. He noted he earned more than seven figures in NIL money, so his time at Alabama and Memphis proved lucrative. 0:00 - Freshman Year at Villanova 3:46 - Sophomore Year at Bama 17:25 - Junior Year at Bama 29:37 - Senior Year at Bama 36:10 - 5th Year at Memphis
