Natalija Jokić, Nikola Jokić's wife, is present at "Aleksandar Nikolić" Hall with their children. Their son, Ignjat, is in Natalija's arms, accompanied by their daughter, Ognjena.

Notably, this marks Nikola Jokić's first game at "Pionir" Hall in 14 years, a fact he mentioned himself prior to the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

What did Jokić say before the BiH match?

The Sombor native emphasized that the Dragons are a formidable team and will play with significant aggression.

As a team, they are collectively tough. All their players are of similar stature. They are strong, long, tall, and physically imposing... They won't surprise us with their aggression; we are prepared for it. We know what awaits us, so we will try to impose our own aggression, so they don't catch us off guard. We saw how they played against Turkey; we must not allow them to be more energetic than us.Nikola Jokić
