Grant Hill, who has appeared in 27 games for the Los Angeles Clippers this season, is leaning towards retirement.

The 40-year-old signed a two-year, $4 million deal prior to the 2012-13 season.

He began the season on the inactive list after suffering a bone bruise to his right knee. He likely will not make it to that second contract year.

"Strong chance," Hill said of retirement. "I'm leaning toward it. I want to get to the end of the year and off-season and think about it but I'm pretty confident that's where my mind is right now. I've enjoyed it."
