With EuroBasket 2025 tipping off in Riga, Latvia, next month, Serbia announced its 17-man roster, which features significant NBA talent. The 2025 Serbian squad will be led by Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic.
Joining Jokic in Team Serbia’s tricolor from the NBA ranks are Los Angeles Clippers guard Bogdan Bogdanovic, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Nikola Topic, Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic, and Washington Wizards center Tristan Vukcevic.
As Serbia’s biggest star and a three-time MVP, the Sombor native will likely assume a leadership role representing his home nation in an international basketball competition. The 30-year-old Jokic took on a more vocal approach than years past, per scenes in Netflix’s “Court of Gold,” and that leadership will need to carry over from this Serbian team to the Nuggets next season.
