Aleksej Pokusevski out for the World Cup
Young Aleksej Pokusevski wanted to make his debut for Serbia this summer, but unfortunately, the desire was not decisive. Namely, as Sportski Zurnal reports, the Oklahoma member did not receive the doctor’s permission to train with the ball until August, which means that he is prevented from fighting for a place among the 12 players who will be at the upcoming FIBA World Cup.
