Шаблон:Infobox basketball biography Diogo Carreira (born December 2, 1978) is a retired Portuguese basketball player.
A point guard, Carreira spent his entire career in his home-country, being mostly associated with Seixal, Belenenses and Benfica, winning several honours with the latter.
Career
Born in Barreiro, Carreira interested in basketball was sparked by a cousin, who took him to Barreirense, where he started competing at age 9.[1] In 1997, he started his professional career in the basketball section of telecommunications company, Portugal Telecom, staying for one season, before moving to Seixal.[2] After two seasons with the Seixal team, he returned to Portugal Telecom, where he won his first league title, and made his first cap for the national team.[2]
In 2002, the 23-year-old had his first spell at his hometown club, Barreirense, representing them for one year, before returning to Seixal for a second stint, in the season immediately after.[2] In 2004, he moved clubs again, joining Barreirense for a second time, again for just one year, as he left for Belenenses on 15 June 2005.[2]
In 2008, Carreira moved to Benfica,[3] helping in the resurgence of the club, winning multiple league and cup titles, and competing in European basket in the 2010-11 and 2014-15 editions of the EuroChallenge.[4] He underwent surgery in his right knee in the summer of 2015, which caused him to miss the first half of the 2015–16 season, only returning to competition in February 2016.[5][6] He retired at the end of the season at age 37, after eight years with Benfica.[7]
Personal life
In August 2009, Carreira was one of the first Portuguese to contract H1N1, in an outbreak that started in the club youth ranks.[8] Less than a year later, he was diagnosed with a benign tumor, adjacent to his right ear. After it was surgically removed, Carreira made a full recovery.[9][10]
