Jusuf Nurkic confirmed his participation to the September windows through Bosnian newspaper Dnevni Avaz.
As adapted by FIBA, the NBA star mentioned: “I had a meeting with coach Dule Vujosevic in Belgrade, and we spoke a bit in the national team training camp in Sarajevo last month. A couple of days ago he told me the preparation period starts about two weeks before the next two games. I told him I’m coming. We stay in touch all the time.
I am aware that we are behind our main rivals to start the Second Round. But these two games could be the start of something good for us. A couple of wins, and we are back in contention for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019.”
Bosnia is currently last in Group K of the European Qualifiers and only counts two wins. With Nurkic onboard, the team hopes to exceed expectations and make it to the big stage next year.
