Dario Saric then came to Zubac’s defense but got shoved by another staff member trying to keep him away from the situation. It was reported that Saric was put in a chokehold and taken to the ground by an unidentified man. Zubac was eventually calmed down and told to back off and leave, which he and Saric both did.

TMZ Sports tried reaching out to the Croatian National Team for a comment but didn’t receive a response. B92Sport reported that members of the Croatian National Team were shocked about the incident, and what exactly happened is still unknown to them. Stay tuned to Fadeaway World for up-to-the-minute updates on this situation.
As more details of this incident come out, it will determine what action, if any, will be taken against the players. If Ivica Zubac was responsible for the altercation, and caused any physical harm to someone, there is no doubt that the NBA will be taking action against him and Dario Saric for getting involved.
Saric recently signed a two-year, $10.6 million contract with the Denver Nuggets. Hopefully, neither player was involved in starting the incident, and more importantly, walked away without any major injuries.
Zubac and Saric were on the court in Piraeus just a few hours before, as they lost to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Greece National Team, losing out on a spot at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Zubac had a great game, putting up 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 1 assist. As for Saric, he put up 14 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists.
