The Serbian basketball team confirmed that Nikola Jokic won’t play for the squad at this summer’s FIBA World Cup after leaving him off the 18-man training camp roster Monday.
The five-time All-Star led the Denver Nuggets to their first-ever NBA title last month, averaging 30 points, 13.5 boards, and 9.5 assists during the club’s postseason run.
Jokic was unanimously voted Finals MVP and tallied a league-record 10 triple-doubles during the playoffs.
