Nikola Jovic scored 22 points as Serbia downed Germany 91 – 81 in Munich to remain unbeaten after six preparation games ahead of the EuroBasket. During the 28:16 he spent on the floor, Jovic shot 7 out of 11 from the field, including 4-7 triples. Tristan Vukcevic had 11 points plus five rebounds, Bogdan Bogdanovic notched 11 points, four assists plus four boards and Marko Guduric scored 11 as well. Nikola Jokic mostly had a facilitating role, finishing with seven assists to go with his seven points (3-7 shots) and eight rebounds.
Confirming recent projections, Nikola Jokic will play for Serbia in the EuroBasket 2025. The selections by head coach Svetislav Pesic, which shaped a 17-player preliminary list for the senior national team, were revealed on Monday. Notable call-ups include Tristan Vukcevic, selecting Serbia as his international assignment. More NBA options stretch to Nikola Topic debuting at the senior level and Nikola Djurisic en route to his first appearance in the final stage of a senior tournament. Captain Bogdan Bogdanovic is the fifth currently active NBA player.
According to Gazzetta, Tristan Vukcevic — who was eligible to represent Italy (his birthplace, Siena), Sweden (his mother’s homeland), Greece (where he grew up and developed as a player), and Serbia (his father’s country) — has ultimately chosen to play for the Serbian national team. Vukcevic averaged 9.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in just 14.6 minutes per game last season with the Wizards.

Shams Charania: The Washington Wizards are re-signing 7-footer Tristan Vukcevic to a two-way NBA deal, sources tell ESPN. Vukcevic averaged 9.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game last season and will enter his third NBA campaign.
Josh Robbins: The Wizards indeed have reached an agreement with restricted free agent Tristan Vukcevic on a two-way contract, a league source confirmed. With this week's trade of Kelly Olynyk, retaining Vukcevic will help the team's big-man depth. But Washington will need to add at least one more big to have enough depth there, and that presumes the team will keep Richaun Holmes.
Keith Smith: The Washington Wizards have tendered a two-way qualifying offer to Tristan Vukcevic. Vukcevic will now be a restricted free agent on July 1.
