Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic has met with Serbian National team head coach Sasa Djordjevic and informed him he will not be playing in EuroBasket for Serbia this summer, according to multiple Serbian media outlets.
Jokic is using the offseason to better his body and get into improved physical condition as he gets ready for an important third season in Denver.
Jokic takes a great deal of pride representing his home country of Serbia and for him to miss out on EuroBasket must have been a tough pill for the 22-year-old to swallow.
