“Can’t wait to watch you in this next chapter”: Haley Cavinder’s sisters shower her with love after Miami star’s retirement announcement

Haley Cavinder is saying goodbye to the game of basketball after four seasons in five years. Miami did not qualify for the ACC Tournament, so the end of the regular season also meant the end of her career.

Cavinder shared a heartfelt post with her 1 million Instagram followers on Tuesday announcing her retirement.

"18 years later, and it's time to say goodbye to the game I’ve loved since I was six. Thank you for an amazing basketball career. Nothing will ever fill the void of you or the feeling of accomplishing my dream—playing the sport I love with my twin by my side. The places you took me, the relationships built, and the opportunities you gave me—I will forever be grateful," Cavinder's Instagram caption said. "It's hard to express how much this sport has impacted and changed my life, but it will always be a part of who I am. As always, Go Canes. #14 out 🧡"

In her post, Cavinder included photos and videos of her basketball career, including pictures of her and twin Hanna in their basketball uniforms as children. Hanna, who played all five seasons of college basketball with Haley, and the twins' other sisters showed their support in the comments of Haley's Instagram post.
