The participation of Nikola Jovic at the 2024 Olympic Games is not yet ruled out. In any case, it is what the Heat hinted atassuring that the sophomore was continuing his rehabilitation after suffering a left ankle injury in June, and that there would still be a possibility he could be part of Svetislav Pesic's squad.
Even though he did not take part in the preparation, notably missing the friendly match in Abu Dhabi against the United States of his teammate Bam Adebayo, the Serbian position 4 is still in the extended Serbian roster.
“ The injury I sustained is improving, the swelling has almost disappeared. But we will wait a few more days for the control scan. […] Honestly, I'm not 100% sure I can play, but I really believe in it. ” he declared at the end of June.
Good news cannot be ruled out, especially since Serbia will be offered something very tough for their first match in Villeneuve d'Ascq with a shock opening match against Team USA next Sunday.
