Concerns have been raised over the injury to Nikola Milutinov, who had to be helped off the court during Serbia’s game against Italy in the second round of the second phase of the 2027 World Cup qualifiers. The Olympiacos center was injured during a scramble under the basket and was unable to continue, with Serbia’s medical staff escorting him off the court.
The sight of Milutinov’s exit caused immediate concern for both the Serbian coaching staff and Olympiacos, as the international center is a key pillar for both teams. Serbia continued the game without its starting center, but everyone’s attention remained focused on the player’s condition and the initial assessments of the injury’s severity.
