Nikola Jokic Leads Serbia to Multiple EuroBasket 2025 Wins

Serbia has started EuroBasket 2025 strongly, winning its first two group stage games with Nikola Jokić playing a pivotal role. Against Estonia, Jokić posted a double-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists, contributing to a dominant 98-64 victory. In their subsequent game versus Portugal, Jokić scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, leading Serbia to an 80-69 win despite a late Portuguese rally. Alongside Jokić, Nikola Jović also impressed with 18 points and six rebounds against Portugal. Serbia's coach, Svetislav Pešić, is managing player minutes carefully, especially with concerns about injuries to Bogdan Bogdanović and the early foul trouble of Filip Petrusev. Serbia's strong start positions them well in their group, with a 2-0 record and a favorable outlook for advancing to the knockout stages.
