According to Associated Press Dragic said on Tuesday, “I achieved what I wanted, the gold medal, and this is the right time to bid farewell.”
The 31-year-old Dragic completed an amazing tournament by leading Slovenia with 35 points to beat Serbia 93-85 in the final on Sunday in Istanbul, earning the MVP award.
Slovenia’s qualifying campaign for the 2019 world championship will start in November, and it would be impossible for him to play due to his professional duties with the Miami Heat in the NBA.
