But after O’Neal left Orlando, Hardaway had a brutal string of knee, foot, and ankle injuries that plagued him during his remaining days with the Magic, as well as when he was eventually traded to the Phoenix Suns. He eventually forced to retire due to an arthritic knee condition that would not respond to all his rehabilitation efforts.
