  08/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jokic collected 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block in 38 minutes during Thursday's 95-91 semifinal loss to Team USA. Unsurprisingly, Jokic played all but two minutes in Thursday's semifinal game. Despite registering an impressive stat line while Serbia owned a 17-point lead at one point, Jokic's effort wasn't enough to hold off Team USA. Serbia is set to face Germany for the bronze medal.

Jokic produced a near double-double with 14 points and eight boards by the end of the first half alone. The three-time NBA MVP continued to dominate the entire contest with no one for South Sudan being able to stop him in the paint, and he was able to get to the charity stripe at will. The 29-year-old averaged 18.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 2.0 steals across 27.0 minutes in three group-phase matches.

  07/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jokic ended with 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and four steals across 31 minutes in Serbia's 110-84 loss to the United States in the Paris Olympics on Sunday. Jokic led Serbia in points, assists and steals in Sunday's loss to Team USA while displaying an impressive plus-minus of zero in the blowout loss. The superstar was spectacular in the squad's group-phase debut, but that did not stop a loss to the star-studded roster of the United States. The three-time NBA MVP will continue to serve as the No. 1 option for Serbia alongside Bogdan Bogdanovic, as the squad attempts to win out in the remainder of the group phase.

• Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Can't carry Denver in Game 6

  05/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jokic contributed 22 points (9-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 115-70 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals. Jokic delivered one of the best performances of his playoff career in Game 5 of the series, but he was unable to repeat those numbers in this woeful loss despite a respectable stat line. Jokic shot under 50 percent from the field for the third time in the series, and the Nuggets have lost every time that has happened. While the entire Nuggets offense must perform better in a do-or-die Game 7 contest on Sunday, Jokic will be the one who sets the tone early on.
