The Brooklyn Nets have had plenty of great players put on the franchise’s jersey from the time that the team played in New Jersey to the organization’s current home in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is currently focused on rebuilding the roster to eventually put great players back on the floor, but one of the franchise’s better players has officially ended his NBA career.

Former Nets forward Bojan Bogdanovic announced his retirement from the NBA on Sunday via a statement from his personal Instagram account. Bogdanovic, 36, played 10 seasons in the league for six different teams, including two separate stints for the Nets, the first one being from 2014 to 2016 and the second stint being during the 2024-25 season, even though he didn’t play due to his foot injury.

“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’s statement began. “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 began his career with the Nets in 2014 despite being selected with the 31st overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Miami Heat before being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bogdanovic eventually ended up with the Nets, then in New Jersey, after Minnesota traded him to the Nets in exchange for cash and a 2013 second-round pick that later became Lorenzo Brown.

Bogdanovic ends his NBA career with averages of 15.6 points, 3.6 RPG, and 1.7 APG while shooting 46.0% from the field and 39.4% from three-point range. During his time with the Nets, Bogdanovic averaged 11.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game on 44.1/36.6/84.7 shooting splits while also making the All-Rookie team for the 2014-15 campaign.
