Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic were recently seen celebrating a horse race win together in Sombor. Nikola Jokic’s horse ‘Amsterdam’ got the winner’s trophy, which Jokic lifted as his friends cheered. The Nuggets’ superstar’s daughter Ognjena was also there with her father.
Bogdan Bogdanovic will also be joining Jokic on the Serbian squad. Bogdanovic was recently named the captain of the Serbian national team and led them to a silver medal in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. With their combined talent and chemistry, Team Serbia is expected to make a strong showing at the Paris Olympics.
