The start of the 2025 NBA offseason has already led to impactful changes around the league, which will affect next season. From the Houston Rockets acquiring Kevin Durant to the Dallas Mavericks drafting Cooper Flagg, the league is teeming with changes after OKC Thunder's dominant championship season.
As with the end of every NBA season, aging players will be expected to make decisions on their potential retirements. We know old NBA stars like LeBron James, Chris Paul and Al Horford are in the final years of their careers, but they're expected to suit up for the 2025-26 season.
One aging star who has now confirmed his retirement decision is Croatian forward Bojan Bogdanovic. He last played for the Knicks in 2024.

After being traded to the Brooklyn Nets and not playing a single game before a foot injury, Bogdanovic has announced he will be retiring from professional basketball this summer on Instagram.
Bogdanovi's lengthy statement confirmed that last season's foot injury wound up being the catalyst for his retirement. He thanked all the teams he played for, including European teams like Real Madrid, alongside the NBA teams he represented.
He was drafted with the 31st pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, but made his NBA debut in 2014 with the Brooklyn Nets. He went on to play for the Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons, and finally, the New York Knicks.
He averaged 15.6 points and 3.6 rebounds over his career, making $148.5 million over NBA contracts in his career.
