Bitter for Serbia: Basketball World Cup without superstar Jokic

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Nikola Jokic, the best basketball player of the past NBA season, is taking a break from the World Cup. The Denver Nuggets center is not on the Serbs’ extensive roster list.

Jokic has had the most successful year of his career. He won the championship with Denver and was named Most Valuable Player of the Finals Series. With the cancellation of the 28-year-old, Serbia lost its status as a co-favourite. With Jokic, the Serbs won Olympic silver in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
