No more! Official retirement! The 21-year basketball career ends

Boyan Bogdanovic updated social media, announcing the end of his basketball career and formal retirement: "After struggling in the basketball world for more than 20 years, I have to say goodbye. After fighting foot injuries for 14 months, two surgeries, and countless efforts to return to the field, I think it's time to start the next chapter."

Boyan wrote: "From Mostar, Zirlins Ki, to Real Madrid and Murcia, to Sibona and Fenerbahce, I proudly wore every jersey. After entering the NBA, I had the honor to wear the Nets, Wizards, Pacers, Jazz, Pistons and Knicks jerseys, and every journey left a mark." In February 2025, Boyan Pogdanovic underwent foot surgery, was reimbursed for the season, and was immediately cut by the Nets. This is Boyan's second surgery in 9 months.
