Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic will not play for the Serbian national team in the upcoming FIBA World Cup as he rests from Denver's extended postseason run, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Jokic is coming off a season in which he played 89 total games, including the playoffs, to help the Nuggets win the franchise's first NBA title.

Since the 2019-20 season, the two-time MVP has played a total of 288 regular-season games, which ranks ninth in the league over that span.

Jokic has played for the Serbian national team three times since entering the NBA — during the 2016 and 2019 FIBA World Cups and most recently last summer for Eurobasket.
