Former Philadelphia 76ers forward calls it a national career.
Team USA had sort of a last dance run at the 2024 Paris Olympics. For players like LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant, they are unlikley to return to the Olympic stage in four years when the Olympics returns to Los Angeles, California.
On the other side of the matchup, there were a handful of established NBA talents. One of them called it an Olympic career. In 2011, Batum won silver in Lithuania for EuroBasket. In 2013, he won gold at the tournament in Slovenia. The following year, Batum won bronze at the FIBA World Cup. In 2015, he returned to EuroBasket in France, winning bronze. At the FIBA World Cup in China in 2019, Batum got bronze again.
The decision for Batum to call it a national career doesn’t come as a surprise. As the 35-year-old navigated through the 2023-2024 NBA season, there was plenty of speculation about his future in the league.
