Nikola Jokić Faces Family Drama Amid Serbian Corruption Probe

The uncle of NBA star Nikola Jokić—historian and former public official Sinisa Jokić—has been arrested in Serbia as part of a corruption investigation tied to the collapse of the Novi Sad train station awning, which killed 16 people. Authorities have detained 14 people in total, including former government ministers. The probe, led by the Organized Crime Prosecutor’s Office, alleges inflated invoices and budget fraud during the station’s renovation. Jokić has not publicly commented yet. The incident comes during massive nationwide protests over infrastructure corruption and government accountability. For Jokić, a revered national figure, the arrest brings serious family and political complications. #NBA #NikolaJokic #Serbia #BreakingNews #BasketballNews #GlobalImpact

Serbia Lights It Up—106-72 Blowout Over Slovenia Before EuroBasket

Serbia made a statement in their final EuroBasket warm-up, dismantling Slovenia 106-72 with a dominant performance. From the jump, Serbia pulled ahead—leading 64-36 by halftime—and never looked back. Luka Dončić had 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, but struggled from deep (just 2-for-10 on threes), and sat out the fourth as the game was well in hand. On Serbia’s side, Nikola Jović led the charge with 18 points and 7 boards, while Bogdan Bogdanović added 14, and Nikola Jokić chipped in 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists in limited minutes. With the Belgrade Arena rocking and Serbia finishing their pre-tournament gallop at a perfect 7-0, they’ve thrown down a serious gauntlet heading into the competition. #EuroBasket2025 #Serbia #Slovenia #LukaDoncic #NikolaJokic #NikolaJovic #Basketball #FIBA #Sports
