Former NBA forward Bojan Bogdanović announced his retirement on Sunday.
The sharpshooter played professionally overseas in Europe early on in his career, before he broke into the NBA with the Nets during the 2014-15 campaigns.
He spent the first two years of his three-year pact in for Brooklyn, but with a visit to free agency looming they decided to ship him off to the Washington Wizards ahead of the 2017 trade deadline.
Bogdanović went on to spend time with Indiana, Utah, and Detroit before he landed back in the Big Apple ahead of the 2024 deadline — this time landing with the Knicks.
He appeared in 29 regular season games for the Knicks, but was limited to just four during the postseason before he ended up being shutdown to undergo surgeries on his left foot and left wrist.
The 36-year-old was then sent back to Brooklyn as part of the Mikal Bridges trade, but he didn’t appear in a game due to the injuries — which have now forced him to decide to hang up the sneakers.
“Sometimes in life, you don't choose the moment,” he wrote on social media. “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.”
Bogdanović averaged 15.6 points on 39.4 percent shooting from three in his NBA career.
