Serbian national team head coach on Nikola Jokic: He's physically and mentally exhausted
The absence of NBA Finals MVP Nikola Jokic undoubtedly captured the most attention. “With [Nikola] Jokic, we had several conversations, and I must say they were some of the best conversations I’ve had with players who couldn’t make it to the roster,” Serbian national team head coach Pesic said. “He’s physically and mentally exhausted, not feeling ready to take responsibility at the moment.”
