MOSCOW, June 23 (Reuters) - Russian basketball player and former NBA All-Star Andrei Kirilenko announced on Tuesday that he was retiring from the sport.
"I am finishing up my career on court," said the 34-year-old CSKA Moscow forward in an interview with the Russian daily Sport-Express.
He did not rule out, however, returning to the sport in the future.
"I have not said that this is my final decision. However, at the moment -- yes, I have retired. I have had enough. I have had a successful career as a basketball player and the time has come to do something different," he said.
