Slowing down might not be in his nature, but Luis Scola intends to retire after the 2020-21 season and participating in the Olympic Games with Argentina for the fifth time. He confirmed the approaching date in an interview with Italian magazine SportWeek released Saturday. “When will it end? In a year, after the Olympics. Only then I will decide what to do,” he mentioned referring to his playing days, “I could stay involved in basketball, but not as a coach, eventually, only for young players. I’m already receiving plenty of proposals, but none have been just as exciting as the idea of playing”.
Ryan Wolstat: Familiar face. Jonas Valanciunas didn’t have much to say about playing the Raptors the other day, but did respond to my question about what he learned from leaders like Scola, Amir, DeMar etc. in Toronto. Said he’s trying to use that wisdom from guys who showed how to be a leader pic.twitter.com/a0SZRSVo8O

Emiliano Carchia: The meeting between Varese and Luis Scola ended. The Argentinean forward will decide by Saturday whether to play one more season and end the career in Tokyo or retire. If Scola keeps playing, he will join Varese, as he told the Italian team

Former NBA big man Luis Scola, who spent the 2019/20 season playing for Olimpia Milano, announced on Thursday that he won’t be returning to the Italian club – or any other EuroLeague team – for the ’20/21 campaign. Scola added in a statement that he’ll decide within the next few weeks whether or not to continue his playing career. “I have chosen not to play in the EuroLeague anymore, neither in Milan nor with another team,” Scola said. “I want to thank Olimpia for giving me this opportunity, it was a fun year in which I experienced a good environment where I felt right at home. “On the other hand, I have not decided whether to retire from basketball for good or keep playing in another competition. I’ll make a final decision during the next few weeks.”

Surely it had to cross your mind in China — maybe I can still play in the N.B.A.? Luis Scola: No. The game changed. Players like me are not that appealing anymore.
But you can step out and make the N.B.A. 3-pointer if you have to. Right? Luis Scola: I can make the N.B.A. 3. I shot 3s well the last two years in the N.B.A., especially in Toronto. But there are lots of players who can shoot 3s and are a lot more mobile. The good teams, they have better players. The bad teams, they have younger players. I just don’t think I am at that level anymore. I was there at some point. But the game changed also. It would be more difficult for me to play, even at my prime, in today’s N.B.A.
