The Miami Heat head coach will watch Nikola Jovic and Simone Fontecchio during the World Cup qualifier

Erik Spoelstra will be at the Vitrifrigo Arena in Pesaro tonight to attend Italy’s FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 qualifier against Serbia, according to Meridian Sport.

The Miami Heat head coach will closely follow two players from his organization: Serbia’s Nikola Jovic and Italy’s Simone Fontecchio. It will not be Spoelstra’s first European national-team game, as he attended Serbia-Slovenia in Belgrade a year ago.

Italy and Serbia will tip off at 7:30 p.m. local time in front of a sold-out arena. The two national teams are tied for second place in Group J after the opening game of the current window.
