The interior Florent Piétrus, one of the pillars of the Parker generation, announced on Twitter on Wednesday that he was retiring from basketball.

"I'm out" said the 39-year-old Guadeloupe, who has worn the France team jersey 230 times and who was notably European champion in 2013.

In club, this interior known for its defensive qualities, was three times champion of France with Pau-Orthez, its training club, before playing in particular for Malaga and Valence in Spain, or for Nancy and Strasbourg.

He played his last season in Orléans in 2019-2020.
