The dual Olympian C.J. Bruton has announced his immediate retirement from international basketball, ending his hopes of a berth for the upcoming World Championships and bringing to a close a remarkable career as a member of the Australian national basketball team.
Basketball Australia confirmed reports of Bruton's decision to retire effective immediately, with BA Chief Executive Officer Larry Sengstock praising the 34-year-old for his immense contribution to the continued success of the Boomers program.
Bruton made his debut for the Boomers in 1998 and went on to represent Australia at the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games and was co-captain of the Boomers team that defeated New Zealand to win the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006.
