Alex Abrines Reportedly Weighing Retirement at 31
Barcelona’s Alex Abrines is reportedly considering stepping away from professional basketball at the age of 31, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Sources close to the player suggest that several factors are influencing his decision. Abrines has been open about prioritizing his mental health, which also led to his departure from the Oklahoma City Thunder in the past. Additionally, Barcelona has proposed restructuring his current contract, extending its duration but with a significant pay reduction.
Although Abrines is under contract for the next season, his role within the team has diminished this year, further complicating his decision. The combination of personal, financial, and professional factors has led the Spanish player to seriously contemplate retiring from the game he’s played at the highest level.
As Barcelona looks to reshape its roster for the upcoming season, Abrines’ potential retirement would mark a significant moment for both the player and the team.
