Antoine Walker is hanging ’em up.

The former Celtics forward, who had been playing for the Idaho Stampede of the NBA Development League, announced his retirement in the locker room on Saturday night, according to the team.

Walker, who played 12 seasons in the NBA, is reportedly expected to make a formal retirement announcement in the coming days.

The 35-year-old’s most notable playing days came as a member of the Celtics from 1996-2003. He was named an All-Star three times while forming a potent duo with Paul Pierce.
