Nikola Jokic Still Deciding On Playing In Olympics 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Jun 9, 2024 4:07 pm

Nikola Jokic is undecided about playing for Serbia at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Denver Nuggets center said he had to "think about it", after Denver's season ended in the second round of the NBA playoffs.


Serbia's head coach, Svetislav Pesic recently called a report that Jokic had committed to playing "fake news". Pesic said that Jokic will let Serbia know "when the time comes".


Jokic last played for Serbia at 2022 EuroBasket. The three-time NBA MVP sat out of the 2023 FIBA World Cup after the Nuggets run to the NBA title.


Serbia will compete in Group C at the Olympics. Group C includes the United States, South Sudan and the winner of the Puerto Rico Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

I can see this guy retiring "early." He wants to be with his horses and eating sarma.
