This Chicago Bulls star admitted the end of his NBA career is not far away
Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic has put together a very solid NBA career. A two-time NBA All-Star, Vucevic made his first All-Star game in 2019 with the Orlando Magic, and another in 2021 which was the season he was traded to Chicago.“I’m aware that I’ve been in the NBA for 13 years, and that the end isn’t far away,” Vucevic said. “I don’t believe I’ll play another 13 years, but I have two more years with Chicago, and after that, I’d like to play two more.
“I think I can continue at a high level for that long, and after that, we’ll see,” Vucevic said. “I’m not thinking much about it right now. I feel great, I’m enjoying the game, and my sons are becoming a bigger motivation—they’re older now and more aware of what I do, they come to practices and games. I want them to remember that I played and that I was involved in basketball at a high level.”
