After starring across Europe and captaining the Serbian national team, Jovana Nogic finally made the jump to the WNBA in April 2026, signing a rookie deal with the Phoenix Mercury.
Even after dealing with some early visa delays, she didn't waste time making an impact from deep, putting up 10.4 points a night while shooting over 42 percent from three across 16 games.
Unfortunately, her promising debut was cut short in late June when she stepped away from the team for personal reasons. Phoenix placed her on a temporary suspension for the rest of the year, though they still hold her rights and she plans to return next season.
Jovana Nogic reminded everyone why she's one of the best shooters in Europe yesterday, carrying Serbia to an 89-82 road win over the Netherlands in their FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2027 qualifier.
Playing in Almere, the Serbian captain completely took over from deep, knocking down six threes on her way to a huge 28-point night. Along with her scoring tear, she added two steals and an assist to help Serbia pull away late in the fourth quarter and move to the top of Group L.
It even attracted the attention of some Fever fans, who were calling for her to join.
This supporter has some wishful thinking: "I really hope the Fever sign her."
"@IndianaFever get her." Said this supporter.
