Nikola Jokic will play at 2024 Olympics
Maljkovic shared this news while reflecting on Serbia’s second-place finish in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. “We didn’t have NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic. Neither Vasilije Micic, the MVP of the EuroLeague. Nor Nikola Kalinic. I think we come together and get the best out of us, as in all sports,” he said. “I can be proud of Novak Djokovic’s season and Ivana Spanovic [Serbian long jumper], who won gold in the 2023 World Athletics Championships. “By the way, I already announced that in Paris, they will be all, Jokic included. The Paris Games will be a party, and I am confident that Serbian sport will have a large participation.”

“Blame Doc sure, for leaving him in, call it a freak accident if you like, but Jokic would never, obviously.”
I took a tough (but I hope fair) look at the Sixers and Embiid’s role in the reigning MVP’s postseason injury woes.

Jamal Murray just walked to the locker room with ice over his left thumb — it was taped and bothering him tonight. Nikola Jokic went to the locker room earlier in the 3rd and hasn’t returned to the bench. Both of their nights are done. – 10:55 PM

First half notes.
The Murray-Jokic-Gordon trio is picking up right where they left off.
Another great half from Strawther. He’s a great addition.
Much better minutes from Pickett and Zeke tonight. – 10:13 PM

Nuggets up 59-52 at halftime. JamalMurray’s got 18 points on 7 shots. Joker with 10-8-5 and four angry looks at the officials. Strawther has 10 points on 6 shots off the bench. Coby White with 15 of his game-high 18 points in the second quarter. – 10:11 PM

Alright, Joker has 7-5-4 in 11 minutes, Jamal has 8 points, and the Nuggets had some good bench minutes in that first quarter.
Strawther on the backcut from Joker at the 2 guard psecifically is going to be open soooo much this year. – 9:39 PM

Definitely a bit of a preseason feeling in the air, especially with some forgettable defensive effort, but the Nuggets are still running that Murray-Joker pick and roll with Gordon in the dunker as well as ever before. – 9:19 PM

Of note tonight: Nikola Jokic’s top horse in Serbia, Brenno Laumar, won a big race yesterday in Subotica — the “Race of the City of Subotica” — at 3,200m. Brenno Laumar has won four races in a row and eight of the 11 he’s entered this summer/fall. pic.twitter.com/TD8pOuawm7 – 8:45 PM

Lotta people at Ball today for this scrimmage. Jokic and AG are “coaching” but the atmosphere is more like pro wrestling – it’s great to see Denver out here at a scrimmage with as many people as used to attend the games that counted for the Brian Shaw era. pic.twitter.com/yaO5Gzi7Mi – 3:04 PM

More on this storyline
“He’s much better. Not even close. I think he’s much better,” the Serbian superstar said.. Jokic further elaborated on the changes he has observed in Murray’s style of play, noting his increased maturity, experience, and enhanced ability to pace the game. “Mature, experienced, slow the games. I think just because of the injury slow him down, so he needed to read a little bit better. Maybe it sounds stupid, but I the injury helped him,” he said about Murray. -via TalkBasket / October 17, 2023
Katy Winge: I asked Nikola Jokić what he enjoyed and learned from coaching during the Nuggets open practice this past weekend… “My plays are amazing but sometimes you need to have players to make the play happen” (ends with a smile 😏) pic.twitter.com/lrJDzPVdww -via Twitter @katywinge / October 16, 2023
