Serbia is one of the favorites to win EuroBasket 2022. The reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic coupled with the current EuroLeague MVP Vasilije Micic is a duo very few teams want to face.

After practice before the first game of the tournament against the Netherlands, Micic talked with the media about dealing with an injury that sidelined him for a short period of time last month and the opponents Serbia has to face in Group D.

"I have been feeling well for several days," Micic told. "The wrist is what it is, I'm glad I was able to recover already for Turkey. I have to be ready for the upcoming games, I think that all of us with some minor injuries managed to prepare as much as possible."

"When you look at the names of the national teams we play in the group, these are not attractive names but everyone has the possibility to have a good day, a shooting night, which requires additional seriousness," the guard explained. "This game is ideal for us, given that we are missing Milutinov so that maybe Rile [Dusan Ristic] gets some quality minutes. We all know that this is a match of maximum difficulty, it's important to be ready."

Besides the Netherlands, Serbia shared Group D with Finland, Poland, Israel, and the Czech Republic.
