The Chairman of Bosnia’s tripartite Presidency, Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, wrote a letter of support to prominent Bosnia-born basketball player Jusuf Nurkic, wishing him a swift recovery after he broke his leg during a match on Monday.
“I was unpleasantly surprised by the news of the severe injury which you suffered at the end of the match with Brooklyn, in which you have, as before, played a great game,” Dodik wrote.

“As a human being and a fan of basketball, but also your fan, I would like to express sincere words of support and encouragement for you to recover as soon and possible and return to the court,” Dodik wrote in his letter.
Nurkic, a member of the Portland Trail Blazers, broke his left leg during a match against the Brooklyn Nets and will thus not be able to participate in the playoffs, which are to begin within a month.
Dodik said in the letter that he appreciates the way Nurkic plays and that he enjoyed his “brilliant performances in the world’s strongest basketball league where the best are playing, and you are among them, equally facing off with the giants of world basketball.”
“Hang on, master, we are all with you. We expect you again on the basketball court, we expect your brilliant plays, as you have not yet shown everything that you can do,” Dodik wrote.
