Following an incredibly demanding season with the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokić has decided to unwind. On Saturday, he was at the Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal, and the very next day, he was in his hometown of Sombor to indulge in his greatest passion: horses.

The Serbian center attended the Champions League final on Saturday, cheering for Arsenal. The Gunners ultimately lost after a penalty shootout. The day after, Jokić arrived in Sombor to watch horse races.

Two of his horses secured victories, undoubtedly pleasing Jokić, who has fully embraced his "summer mode." He celebrated his horses' wins with an enthusiasm rarely seen from the Serbian star when commemorating his basketball achievements on the court.

Jokić's passion for horses has long been public knowledge. Over the years, he has repeatedly emphasized how much he enjoys his time at the racetrack, often rushing back to Serbia immediately after the NBA season to attend his horses' races.

While global discussions revolve around his contract, individual NBA awards, and the upcoming season, Jokić currently appears completely relaxed. His focus has shifted from the NBA to Sombor, his family, and his horses, who provided him with an additional reason to celebrate this past weekend.
