Nando de Colo Says 2025–26 Will Be His Final Season

He frames the choice as a life‑timing decision rather than a results test.

Overview

  • Nando de Colo, speaking Tuesday to BeBasket, said this season will be his last and stressed it is not tied to a EuroLeague title.
  • Since a midseason return to Fenerbahce in January, he has come off the bench in 12 games, dealt with a calf injury, and averaged 10.9 points.
  • He plans to move with his family to Spain to decompress before likely pursuing coaching later on.
  • The 38-year-old closes a record-heavy career with two EuroLeague titles, 20 seasons, 125 NBA games, and, per Eurohoops, the top all-time Performance Index Rating and the No. 2 scoring total in EuroLeague history.
  • For France, he was a long-time pillar who helped win EuroBasket 2013 gold and the Paris 2024 Olympic silver medal.
