PROVO, Utah (AP) BYU guard Nick Emery said Tuesday he is retiring from basketball following a college career that began with high expectations but that ended with him at the center of an NCAA investigation.

Emery used social media to announce he is stepping away with a year of eligibility still remaining.

"My time here has been rocky at times, but the good times definitely outweighed the bad," Emery wrote in an Instagram post also shared to his Twitter account. "I've learned so many life lessons and this journey has been so rewarding. I am at a point in life where I am happy with what I've accomplished with basketball and I'm ready to start the next chapter of my life with my wife and son."
