Nicolas Batum likely to retire after the 2025-26 season

Nicolas Batum, an NBA veteran forward and former longtime French national team captain, may embark on the final season of his career in 2025-26. “There’s a very, very good chance that the next season will be my last,” Batum said in an interview with BeinSports. Batum is expected to return to the Los Angeles Clippers next season and complete the two-year contract he signed with the team during the 2024 free agency.
