Longtime Spanish star Rudy Fernandez announced that he'll retire following this season. Fernandez is completing his 13th season with Real Madrid. The 39-year-old guard initially joined the club for part of the 2011-12 season while the NBA was a lockout.

Fernandez played for Portland Trail Blazers from 2008 through 2011, before playing with the Denver Nuggets in 2011-12, after the lockout ended. Fernandez began his professional career with Joventut, for whom he played six seasons.

The 6-foot-6 guard was also a key part of the Spain national team. Fernandez first played for the senior team for the 2004 Olympics. He was a part of silver medal teams at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, as well a bronze medal team at the 2016 Olympics.

In addition to the Olympics success, Fernandez won four gold medals, one silver and one bronze across six Eurobasket competitions.

In a simple message posted on Instagram, Nemanja Bjelica announced his retirement from playing basketball.

"20 years...Thank you basketball" was Bjelica's message on Saturday afternoon.

The 6-foot-10 forward played for seven seasons in the NBA. Bjelica started his NBA career with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2015, before moving to the Sacramento Kings in 2018. At the 2021 trade deadline, Bjelica was dealt to the Miami Heat. He then signed with the Golden State Warriors, and helped the team win the 2022 NBA Finals.

Following that NBA title, Bjelica returned to Fenerbahce in Turkey. He had previously played for the Turkish club before coming to the NBA.

Bjelica also played professionally for clubs in his native Serbia and in Spain during his 20-year professional career. The 35-year-old had also suited up for the Serbian national team for several EuroBasket and World Cup competitions, as well as Olympic qualifiers.
