The rosters are out for today's game, and Olivia is on it. There were 14 players training for Croatia, but since only 12 are on the roster, I assume she will be in uniform. FIBA regulations do not allow more than 12 players to be in uniform. The game starts at 2:00 PM Eastern Time and is supposed to be broadcast by FIBA via its YouTube channel.

I don’t know if anyone’s watching Croatia take it to Greece today. But what a pleasure to watch Nika doing “Nika things” again, including a few steals, dropping dimes with one no-look pass on the break and grabbing rebounds among the trees.

My favorite play so far, Nika grabs an offensive rebound between 2 Greek forwards, goes right back up to score, while cracking one of the Greek forwards across the jaw with her forearm…..no foul. 😊

Unfortunately, Nika got hurt driving to the basket on a hard foul by one of the Greek players. It looks like a hamstring. But I can’t be certain.

Blanca-Sarah-Olivia is going to be an insane frontcourt.

Game highlights, including Nika going down, are here. not clear to me to what extent Nika may have been up and about, or participated in high five line or whatever, after rejoining the team (per the Twitter guy).

Tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Croatia vs. Denmark. During the first qualifying window for the 2027 European Championship, Croatia was caught off guard by Denmark. Nika Mülh, who was also injured during that first qualifying window, was absent, and it appears she will be out again for this second match.

However, Croatia can now count on the support of the Big O. Tomorrow, Olivia, who was outstanding in her first game with the senior team, could very well make the difference in this match. If Croatia wins the game, they will qualify for the second qualifying round; if not, they will have to wait for the result of their next match on Wednesday, March 17, against North Macedonia.

Serbia’s game tomorrow against Portugal is at the same time and will be covered on Jovana’s recruitment feed. Serbia has already qualified for the second round.

Any updates on Nika’s injury

I don't have an update but have verified that it's not the same knee she hurt a year and a half ago.

That's a relief, I guess.
