Andrew Bogut has retired

Former Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut has announced his retirement. Bogut announced the news on his podcast, and noted that he had planned on playing in the 2020 Olympics before they were postponed due to the coronavirus.

Bogut was the first overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, and played 14 NBA seasons, earning a few individual accolades along the way, most notably when he was All-NBA in 2009-10, and All-Defense in 2014-15.

He played a huge role in the Warriors decade of success. After spending the first seven years of his career with the Milwaukee Bucks, a then-injured Bogut was traded to Golden State in exchange for Ekpe Udoh and fan favorite Monta Ellis in 2012.
