    Nikola Jokic Goes Viral After Team Serbia Equipment Manager's Jersey Gaffe

    By Owen Crisafulli,

    Nikola Jokic and Serbia lost their friendly matchup against Australia ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics by a score of 84-73 on Tuesday afternoon.

    The Denver Nuggets three-time MVP was his typical star self for the Serbs, as he posted a double-double on the day with 14 points and 14 rebounds.

    However, there was a bit of an issue before the start of the game for Jokic. When he was looking to put on his jersey after the team's pregame warmups, it was nowhere to be found. Thankfully, it was only because the equipment manager didn't bring it out, but it didn't take long for this clip to make the rounds on social media.

    This is a pretty hilarious clip, as you can see the worry in the equipment manager's eyes, especially considering that Jokic is the one guy whose jersey you don't want to lose.

    Fortunately enough, it didn't take him long to get the star big man his jersey, and he was able to take the court with the rest of his team.

    As Serbia continues to get ready for the Olympics, they will hope for better results moving forward, and better preparation to avoid this same innocent mistake from being made again.
