The website reported about the Serbian big man suffering from a swollen knee. However, the story did not end here.

When Serbian news outlet Telegraf found out about the information, they contacted the Serbian Basketball Federation directly. The organization emphasized that the center's health is in no danger, and he is currently in a hotel together with his teammates in Ljubljana.

The Serbian national team got into the news recently with head coach Svetislav Pesic cutting the team's captain Milos Teodosic. Yesterday, it was announced that Nemanja Bjelica would take over as captain.

"We have players who are already established, who have won big games, who know how to bear the burden and pressure of the public, and also the obligation to their team," the Serbian coach said.

Given that Bjelica is currently injured, Vladimir Lucic will lead the team as a captain in Slovenia on Wednesday.
