The Los Angeles Clippers veteran forward Nicolas Batum is preparing to lead the French team as they aim for a medal in the upcoming 2023 FIBA World Cup. Additionally, he intends to participate with the National Team in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Batum had previously declared his intention to retire from the National Team after the Paris Olympics. His wife, Aurelie, has now confirmed via social media that he will indeed be retiring from his entire career.
“Nico decided to end his career (NBA and France team) after the Olympics, so this is his last season with the Clippers,” she posted on Twitter, as reported first by BeBasket.
