I feel your pain. I am at the age when I consider giving up basketball every year. While I don't have your physical issues, I certainly don't go up and down the court like I did 30 years ago. While I know my experience has offset running speed to some extent, I sometimes think varsity basketball should be done by someone younger than retirement age.
I have a schedule this year that I intend to honor. After the season is over, I will again review my status and make a decision for next year. I also do football, baseball and softball. I don't feel old working those sports.
If we stay around long enough, all of us will be faced with a similar decision.
