- Event sparks interest in Jokic's performance and mishap.
In a thrilling conclusion to the FIBA World Cup, Serbia clinched the bronze medal with a 93-83 victory over Germany, marking a significant achievement for the team. The 29-year-old center, Nikola Jokic, delivered an impressive performance, recording the fifth triple-double in Olympic history with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. This victory is particularly notable as it represents Serbia's first medal since their silver finish in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Following the match, Jokic was seen celebrating exuberantly with his teammates, which was captured in various social media posts. In one video, he appeared to be stumbling while posing for photos, leading to speculation about his level of inebriation. Fans took to social media to comment on his condition, with some humorously questioning how much he had to drink, while others wondered if he would remember the celebrations the next day. The match against Germany was a rematch of last year's FIBA World Cup final, which Germany had won. Despite their strong performance throughout the tournament, including a near upset against the four-time defending gold medalist USA in the semifinals, Germany ultimately fell short in their quest for another medal. Franz Wagner led the German team with 19 points, while his brother Moritz contributed 16, but it was not enough to secure a podium finish.
