Serbia will compete in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament of Belgrade without Nemanja Bjelica. The Minnesota Timberwolves forward confirmed that he hasn’t managed to fully recover from his leg injury and will therefore skip the qualification games.
“I won’t play because of my injury”, Bjelica said in Zurnal, while also expressing his firm belief that his teammates will accomplish the target of qualifying in the Olympic Games. “I know our team and I know that we have a lot of players who are ready to respond to the challenge that is before us”.
And what about Rio? Will he be able to jump on board if Serbia gets the ticket to the Olympic Games? “If I am healthy, of course. I am here and I am looking forward for it.”
