Jokic repeated that he wants to go home in Serbia as soon as possible because on Sunday he has an horse race.

“On Sundays, I have my horse racing,” Jokic said. “I don’t know how we’ll arrive (on time). Thursday, parade. Friday, maybe”.

Steve Smith then followed it up if he’ll make it to Sombor, Serbia, on Sunday before Jokic jokingly said that he might ask team president Josh Kroenke if he can use the team’s plane.

“I don’t know. I’m gonna ask Josh to give me a plane ride. I’m putting him under pressure. I don’t feel bad about it.”
