Former Trail Blazers center Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje retires because of heart condition
FRANKFURT, Germany — Former Portland Trail Blazers center Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje is retiring immediately because of a heart condition.
Bayern Munich, the player’s current club, says the 33-year-old decided to retire after a medical exam uncovered “new irregularities” that could have later consequences. The club gave no details Wednesday.
Boumtje-Boumtje says his “health and family are of the greatest importance.”
The Cameroon-born center played 44 games for Portland between 2001 and 2004. He played for several European clubs before signing with Bayern.
