Serbia will return to the Olympic Games in 2024 after its absence in Tokyo 2020. A return won after the silver at the 2023 World Cup. A fourth intercontinental medal that the Balkans achieved with a huge Bogdan Bogdanovic (19.1 points and 21.6 rating ) and without two of his great references: Vasilije Micic and Nikola Jokic, who did not participate in the tournament after wearing his first NBA championship ring with the Denver Nuggets.
But this summer both will be with Serbia and will form, together with Bogdan Bogdanovic, a true Big-Three that will try to face the great ogre of the Paris event: the United States. After the fiasco of the last World Cup, the great leaders of the NBA have responded to the call of LeBron James. Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, the nationalized Joel Embiid, the Lakers forward himself… they form a fearsome, almost unattainable team, but who knows.
Apart from Bogdanovic, Micic and Jokic, Svetislav Pesic has called up 13 more players to form a list of 16 that will be reduced to 12 before the Games, where Serbia aspires to win the third medal in its history after the disintegration of Yugoslavia after the silver medals in Atlanta 1996 and Rio 2016.
