Denver Nuggets will be tasked with becoming NBA champions again in the 2024/25 season. After the failure of the previous season, where as defending champions, they fell in the Conference semi-finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Colorado franchise is looking to come back strong by seeking the reinforcement of one of the European basketball stars: Vasilije Micic.
That’s according to one of the most reliable NBA insiders, Marc Stein. After a notable stint with the Charlotte Hornets, the Serbian player has convinced the Nuggets, who want to pair him with his compatriot and three-time NBA MVP: Nikola Jokic. Although Jamal Murray is the starting point guard, the addition of Vasilije Micic would provide the necessary depth, especially after Reggie Jackson’s departure this summer.
In the 30 games he played with the Hornets, Micic started 21 of them, averaging 10.8 points and 6.2 assists per game.
In search of the formula for success at the Olympic Games
In addition, Jokic and Micic are coming off a very respectable bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Serbian national team managed to defeat world champion Germany in the third-fourth place match, after giving a tough challenge to the best American team of this century in the semifinals.
Only Stephen Curry, on an inspired day from the three-point line, could turn around a game that Serbia seemed poised to win against a rival team with stars like Curry himself, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards and others.
