  08/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Micic provided 19 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two assists and two rebounds across 21 minutes for Serbia in Saturday's 93-83 win over Germany in the bronze medal game of the Paris Olympics. Micic tied Nikola Jokic for the game high in points as Serbia secured a trip atop the podium.

Micic was a solid third option for the squad, and he averaged 13.5 points, 4.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds across 22.0 minutes per game in six Olympic matches.
