"[Jusuf] Nurkic is out of shape": Coach Adis Beciragic slams Bosnia and Herzegovina's fitness ahead of EuroBasket
Jusuf Nurkic is reportedly not in good shape (Image via Getty Images) Adis Beciragic, the coach of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has recently criticized his team's lack of fitness ahead of EuroBasket . He also singled out Jusuf Nurkic and Xavier Castaneda. After heavy losses to China, Serbia, and Montenegro, a difficult group consisting of Georgia, Greece, Italy, and Spain has caused concern for the team. Additionally, this criticism came days after their EuroBasket 2025 preparations, when Nikola Jokic and Serbia's national team dominated Bosnia and Herzegovina and won. Bosnia coach Adis Beciragic questions team's conditioning as EuroBasket nears after heavy losses The EuroBasket preparation matches for Bosnia and Herzegovina are reportedly becoming worse. Montenegro, which has dominated from the start, defeated the national squad. Meanwhile, head coach Adis Beciragic did not attempt to hide his frustration after the game as he brought up his players' fitness problems. Regarding the NBA center, who scored 15 points during his team's most recent losing performance, the coach said: '[Jusuf] Nurkic is out of shape and can barely run.' He further said: 'Xavier Castaneda is not training, he only started playing five-on-five two days ago. All that needs to be integrated into a team that has played together for two years.' According to Adis Beciragic, the team has reportedly not been prepared to the necessary degree. He then said: 'We have to prepare better for the games. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 25 of the Best Cities to Live In Undo We missed 18 free throws against Serbia. Montenegro is also a very good team and I hope we will be able to convince the players to understand where the problems are.' This happened after the team faced a tragic loss.

I think we're all around the same level in terms of fitness, and we'll gradually improve it. What's important is that we stay healthy and arrive at EuroBasket healthy – that's very important, probably the most important thing.' According to Jusuf Nurkic, this team is prepared to create history. 'Time has shown that we are a team capable of achieving results, but whether it's Murphy's law or something else, I don't know, we've had so many setbacks so many times. However, I'm sure – God willing, with good health – that now we have a historic opportunity to achieve a great result.' On the other hand, the team is now preparing to face Spain, Italy, Greece , and Georgia. Also read: Is Giannis Antetokounmpo going to miss EuroBasket 2025 Prep Games?

Alexander Mattison injury update: Dolphins RB out for season after neck surgery, major blow to backfield plans
Alexander Mattison injury forces Dolphins to adjust (Image via: Getty images) Miami Dolphins running back Alexander Mattison will miss the entire 2025 NFL season after undergoing season-ending neck surgery in Chicago. The injury, sustained during a preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears, is a major blow to Miami's backfield depth heading into the regular season. Alexander Mattison's neck injury escalates, forcing Dolphins to reshape Running Back strategy According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Mattison was hurt during Sunday's preseason game and immediately taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. What initially appeared to be minor neck and shoulder soreness quickly escalated in severity, leading to emergency surgery later that evening. The procedure effectively rules him out for the remainder of the year. The news comes as a surprise given Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel's post-game comments. Speaking to reporters, McDaniel noted that Mattison was 'doing well' and mentioned only experiencing some neck and shoulder soreness, suggesting that further updates would follow in the coming days. Unfortunately for Miami, the follow-up update confirmed the worst-case scenario. Mattison, who joined the Dolphins to add veteran stability and power running to the offense, was expected to play a key role in short-yardage and red-zone situations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Once back of the pack, Chinese running shoes now look to surge ahead in S'pore market CNA Read More Undo His absence now forces the team to reconfigure its running back rotation before the season opener. Dolphins running back depth chart after Alexander Mattison's injury With Mattison sidelined, the Dolphins will lean heavily on De'Von Achane, whose speed and versatility make him a dangerous weapon in space. Rookie Jaylen Wright and first-year back Ollie Gordon will also see increased opportunities to prove themselves in training camp and preseason action. In addition, the Dolphins are bringing in veteran Jamaal Williams for a workout, signaling the team's intent to bolster depth with experienced talent. Williams, known for his physical running style and reliable goal-line production, could be a strong fit to replace Mattison's role. Dolphins face backfield challenge and offensive balance test without Alexander Mattison For Miami, the loss of Mattison is not just about depth; it's about maintaining offensive balance. The Dolphins' high-powered passing attack led by Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill thrives when complemented by a consistent ground game. Finding a replacement capable of handling the physical demands of the position will be crucial for sustaining their offensive rhythm.
