CHICAGO - Serbia's NBA superstar Nikola Jokic says there is still "a long way to go" until the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and that Serbia head coach Svetislav Pesic will be the first to know whether he will be playing for the national team next summer.

You might imagine that the last thing any professional athlete might want to do when they're not training or playing would be to spend time watching other sports.

The coach of Serbia, Svetislav Pei, has not yet announced the list of players and will do so on Monday, but it seems that the current NBA champion will not be on it.
While we wait for that to finally happen, "Mozzart Sport" has certain knowledge about the names on the list - and it doesn't look good.

San Antonio Spurs coach and president of basketball operations Gregg Popovich, an iconic bench boss at 74, has signed a new five-year contract with the NBA club, the team announced on July 8.
