Gasper Vidmar retires from basketball at the age of 34

Gasper Vidmar He has announced his retirement from basketball at the age of 34. The Slovenian center, European champion with his country in 2017, ends his career after a few seasons punished by injuries. Since 2018 he belonged to the Reyer Venezia squad.

These have been his words in the Slovenian media Diary:

«I finished my carrer. The knee can no longer withstand the daily stress.

Just a few months ago, he was hoping to play for Venezia in the second half of the season. I told the coach after the end of last season that I couldn’t play the whole season anymore, but maybe I would come back for the second half. They called me in December and I tried to train. But it quickly became clear that the knee no longer allowed it.

I am satisfied with what I have achieved in my career. You always have in your head that it could be even better, but I don’t bother with that. He was about to go to the NBA league when we talked to New Orleans, for which he also played in the summer league. Maybe that’s exactly what I could do if my knee was in better shape.”
