Richard Jefferson spent 17 seasons in the NBA with eight different teams before retiring after the 2017-18 season. On Monday, he’ll take the court once more during the Summer League, though this time wearing a very different shirt.
Jefferson will step in to play the role of official for one quarter during the Knicks-Trail Blazers game, the league announced Monday. He will try his hand at refereeing for the second quarter, and then join ESPN2’s broadcast during halftime to discuss the experience.
