ORTIZ DONE: According to a fiba.com report posted Monday, Puerto Rican forward Jose Ortiz has retired from international basketball.
Selected in the first round (No. 15 overall) of the 1987 draft, Ortiz lasted just two seasons — playing only 64 games — with the Jazz and in the NBA.
The announcement comes on the heels of 42-year-old Ortiz's exclusion from Puerto Rico's rosters for the upcoming Centrobasket tournament in Panama and the Centro American and Caribbean Games in Colombia.
Ex-Jazz point guard Carlos Arroyo of Orlando, meanwhile, is on Puerto Rico's preliminary 19-man roster for the July 408 Centrobasket tourney.
