Nuggets MVP Nikola Jokic's expected decision on EuroBasket 2025 play revealed
Three-time Denver Nuggets MVP center Nikola Jokic has apparently made a decision on whether or not he will play in the 2025 EuroBasket competition for his native Serbia. Per Dorde Matic of Meridian Sport, it is anticipated that the 6-foot-11 superstar will announce that he'll suit up for Serbia this year, after all. Jokic, widely seen as the best player in the world, led a talented Serbian squad to a bronze medal during the 2024 Paris Olympics last summer, almost upsetting eventual gold medalists Team USA in a hotly contested semifinal matchup. That talented 2024 club included three other then-NBA pros: L.A. Clippers guard Bogdan Bogdanovic, Miami Heat power forward Nikola Jovic, and now-Hapoel Tel Aviv point guard Vasilije Micic. Micic at the time was plying his trade for the Charlotte Hornets. Jokic, of course, was the primary reason Serbia has had its recent run of spectacular international success, although Bogdanovic is no slouch either. The seven-time All-NBA big man has a decorated international resume, having brought Team Serbia to the 2016 silver medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Across 70 healthy regular season contests last year, the 30-year-old averaged an eye-popping 29.6 points on .576/.417/.800 shooting splits, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists for the 50-32 Nuggets — making him just the third player in league history to average a triple-double over the course of a full season. Should he partake in EuroBasket competition (which tips off next month), the 2023 Finals MVP would immediately elevate Serbia to contender status this summer.
