Nikola Jokic concluded the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina with a triple-double performance, tallying 20 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds.

"I believe we started the game well, unlike against Switzerland. We found our rhythm and maintained it for almost the entire match. Perhaps we had a slow start to the second half, but we quickly regained control and finished the game strong." - Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jovic was the most efficient player for the Serbian national team, scoring 32 points.

Jokic revealed his desire to play for the Denver Nuggets for the rest of his career.

"My intention and desire are to stay in Denver. I'll probably sign a contract next year, and that's strictly a business decision. My wish is to remain and play for Denver for the rest of my life; it's up to them whether they offer me a deal or not." - Nikola Jokic
