Aleksej Pokusevski won't join Serbian national team
After Nikola Jokic’s decision, two more NBAers have been added to Serbia’s list of players who decided not to join in this summer for the Olympics – Aleksej Pokusevski and Alen Smailagic. The two young prospects decided to prepare for the next season with their teams.
“Pokusevski decided to dedicate himself to his physical preparation for the next season. I respect his decision, but with his talent, he could have learned a lot in the national team. Smailagic also made the decision to prepare for the next season. I wish them all the best,” national team coach Igor Kokoskov explained.
Wes Goldberg: Alen Smailagic will get the start tonight in place of Kevon Looney, who is out due to health and safety protocols. Steve Kerr says he doesn’t know how long Looney will be out. Kerr on Smailagic: “We’re very confident he can come out and help us get out to a good start.”
Kendra Andrews: Kerr says Alen Smailagic is starting mainly because of the size matchup with Valanciunas. Kerr doesn’t want to have Draymond play him all night. “He’s worked really hard, so let’s give him an opportunity.”
