Last season he had many injury problems and briefly defended the colors of Panathinaikos Athens in the second part of the 2021-22 season.

While talking to Mozzart Sport, Jovic revealed that there were talks with Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade this season but his return to Belgrade did not materialize.

"There was contact, but, to put it simply, we didn't agree and I wouldn't go into further detail. Of course, I wish the Red Star all the best. I see that with the new head coach [Dusko Ivanovic] they have some new energy," he said.

As Jovic says himself, he continues to work individually and points out that there is an offer on his table.

"I feel good and I'm completely ready for a new challenge. There is an offer, I hope something concrete will happen these days. I can't reveal the particular club, but I'll say I'm the closest to a team that plays in the EuroCup. And I like this option because the EuroLeague clubs have already completed their rosters. I just want to play and let injuries bypass me," the 32-year-old guard spoke.

Jovic proved that he is ready for new challenges by playing for the Serbian NT in November's FIBA window. He made a valuable contribution in the victories against Great Britain and Turkey, which brought the Eagles very close to qualification for the next World Cup.

"It's a phenomenal feeling to wear the national team jersey. Well, it's something I dreamed about as a kid. And I really needed the competition," Jovic talked about the latest experience.

"It's a pleasure that we achieved two victories and came close to our main goal. There is a lot of potential among these guys, and it's up to them to show it at the given moment. Because the circumstances have changed a little, these windows have pretty much leveled the differences in quality," he added.
