He was waived by the Nets in 2019 and hasn’t stepped foot on the court since. While he hasn’t formally announced a retirement, the Georgia Tech alum admitted it’s nice to do “something different.”

“I don’t have a contract, so its right that I don’t lie to myself like I don’t enjoy doing other things,” Shumpert told the Athletic in March. “I’m just taking the challenges and saying yes to everything.”

After leaving the basketball court, Shumpert went on to win season 30 of Dancing With the Stars with his partner, Daniella Karagach, and appeared during the DWTS 2022 tour. Variety reported in 2019 that the final three contestants on the competition show can take home a maximum of $295,000.

“The main joy that I have with being with Dancing with the Stars is not having to hide myself, not even a little bit,” Shumpert gushed before winning the mirror ball trophy.
