Rumors

The former Serbian national team center joined Philippine club Strong Group Athletics (SGA) this summer to compete in the 2026 William Jones Cup in Taiwan, where the team is seeking a third consecutive tournament title. Boban Marjanovic's deal is short-term and covers the competition, which runs through Aug. 23. Once that stint ends, the 38-year-old could potentially return to Ilirija, where Luka Doncic's father, Sasa Doncic, serves as sporting director. "We parted ways very amicably with Bobi. Most importantly, we didn't close our doors," Sasa Doncic told SportKlub. "Let's wait and see how the season develops. For him and for us."

Doncic notably highlighted Nikola Jokic and how he enjoys playing with him: "When I watch Nikola Jokic play and when I play against him I feel great. We joke a bit with each other but the way he's playing is phenomenal. He's playing incredible and does stuff that he sees before anyone else does." Jokic also used a chance to thank Boban Marjanovic for helping him accommodate himself in the US: "A lot. I think he arrived during my second season. Bobi is a great guy, we all know that. We were always together, so it really meant a lot that I had someone to talk with," he concluded.

Boban Marjanović: No—but I remember the day we played against the Lakers. LeBron was coming downhill and I fouled him. I told the referee, “That’s not a foul!” LeBron turned to me and said, “Hey Bobby, this is not John Wick.”
