Serbian point guard Milos Teodosic has announced his retirement as a basketball player, as BasketNews.com relays.
Teodosic spent most of his career playing overseas, but had a two-year stint in the NBA with the Clippers from 2017-19. He appeared in 60 contests for L.A., averaging 8.0 points, 4.0 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .420/.378/.811.
“First of all, thank you for 30 years of shared battles, joy, happiness, and sorrow,” Teodosic said as part of a much longer statement. “The time has come for me to say goodbye to one phase of my love for the magical game played under the hoops. Behind me—behind us—are years filled with passion, struggle, and sacrifice. There were trophies won, but also finals lost. That’s all part of basketball, and part of life. And I wouldn’t change a thing. I would do it all the same, all over again!”
The 38-year-old began his playing career in Serbia before spending several years with Olympiacos (2007-11) and CSKA Moscow (2011-17). He won a EuroLeague MVP award in 2010 with the Greek club and a EuroLeague championship in 2016 with the Russian squad.
Following his stint in the NBA, the point guard returned to Europe, where he finished out his career with Virtus Bologna in Italy (2019-23) and Crvena Zvezda in Serbia (2023-25).
Teodosic made the All-EuroLeague first team three times and the second team three more times between 2010-17, earning a spot on the league’s All-Decade team for the 2010s. He’s the EuroLeague’s 13th all-time leading scorer and ranks sixth in total assists.
Teodosic also represented Serbia at several international competitions, including the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where the team won a silver medal.
