Rumors

Speaking to the media outlet from his homeland, Sportske Novosti, Karlo Matkovic shared his experience from the United States and talked about the toughest opponent he faced in the league. “It was toughest to play against Jokic. He’s constantly active — it might seem like he has slowed down, and then he explodes. You never know where he’s going; he knows all our plays. Against players like that, you have to stay fully focused. I looked up at the scoreboard at one point and saw he had 20 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists — and you could barely even feel it. He keeps the same rhythm the whole time,” Matkovic admitted.
