Bogdanovic retires after 10 NBA seasons
Bojan Bogdanovic is retiring from the NBA after 10 seasons, he announced Sunday.
"Sometimes in life, you don't choose the moment. The moment chooses you. After 14 months of battling a foot injury, two surgeries, and countless efforts to get back on the court, the time has come to close a chapter," Bogdanovic said in a statement.
"After more than two decades in the game, the moment has arrived to say goodbye to basketball. Not just as a sport, but as a part of who I am."
Bogdanovic suited up for the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons, and New York Knicks during his career.
The 36-year-old was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for a second stint with the team last July but never suited up with the club in 2024-25 after undergoing foot surgery. He last played for the Knicks in 2024.
Bogdanovic was a star player in Europe before transitioning to the NBA in 2014. He earned NBA All-Rookie second-team honors in his first campaign after signing a three-year deal to join the Nets.
The Croatian was known for being a sharpshooter from distance, averaging 15.6 points per game on 39.4% shooting from the three-point line.
