So, you have an “opinion”. You don’t have the truth.

Luck himself said he had been considering it for 2 weeks before the announcement. And that he promised himself after the shoulder injury that he wouldn’t go through that again.

That tells me the ankle not responding is what led directly to his retirement. That isn’t a long time frame.
