Nikola Rakićević will not return to Buffalo Bulls Men’s Basketball

Buffalo Bulls Men’s Basketball will face a setback next season when junior-to-be Nikola Rakiu0107eviu0107 will not return to the team this fall. Rakiu0107eviu0107’s departure is on medical grounds, primarily with his knee issues.

Rakiu0107eviu0107 has spent the last two seasons with the Bulls as a bench asset in the rotation. Most notably, the Smederevska Palanka, Serbia native gained more minutes at the end of last season for his defensive intensity.

Nikola averaged 2.6 points per game with a decent 42.6% field goal percentage in his final season donning the blue and white. Twice he matched his career best in points (14) when UB faced Delaware in the 2015-16 season and Kent State on the road in the 2017-18 season.
