Bjelica Gets Breather In Win Over Iceland

Thanks to Serbia’s 93-64 win over Iceland on Tuesday morning, forward Nemanja Bjelica played just 18 minutes and was able to get a bit of a breather after playing 35 and 27 minutes, respectively, in his first two games.

The star of this year’s EuroBasket had a relatively quiet game, finishing with seven points, four rebounds and two assists. He shot 3-of-4 from the field, 0-of-1 from the three-point line and 1-of-1 from the free-throw line.

Bjelica is averaging 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and three assists in three tournament games. He’s shooting 55.6 percent (15-of-27) from the field, 36.
