List of Serbian NBA Players in 2024 Olympics ft. Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokic leads a group of Serbian players in the 2024 Paris Olympics, keen to make some noise and emulate or improve their best result in this tournament. Previously, at the Summer Games, the country won silver medals twice, in 1996 and 2016.

Jokic is not alone on this quest, as Serbia called several NBA players to represent the country this year. Svetislav Pesic, coach of the team since 2021, has four current NBA players for the Olympic tournament. It's time to check on the Serbian NBA players who earned the call to represent their national team.

Unlike Jokic, the other three Serbian NBA players aren't stars and some of them are just starting their journey in the association.
