Marinovic to lead Serbia Under-20 team

Adelaide 36ers senior assistant coach Marko Marinovic has been named to lead Serbia’s tilt at this year’s FIBA Under-20 EuroBasket tournament in Greece.

Marinovic, who last off-season won a bronze medal as assistant coach of the Serbian national team at the Paris Olympics, will be in charge for the July 12-20 event.

Serbia has a tough schedule after being drawn in Group D alongside last year’s champions France, 2024 runner-up Slovenia and Iceland.
