Possible 2028 NBA Draft No. 1 Pick Nikola Kusturica Commits To UCLA

Serbian forward Nikola Kusturica has agreed to a multiyear commitment with UCLA, according to sources cited by ESPN. The 17-year-old is considered one of the top European prospects in his class and an early candidate for the No. 1 pick in the 2028 NBA Draft. Kusturica remains two years away from NBA eligibility. His recruitment featured several shifts over the past month, with Kentucky briefly emerging as the frontrunner before Michigan gained momentum prior to Dusty May's departure for the Dallas Mavericks. Gonzaga was also involved in pursuing the 6-foot-8 forward. Kusturica delivered a standout performance at the FIBA Under-17 World Cup in Turkiye, earning a spot on the tournament's All-Star Five after averaging 24.6 points and 6.9 rebounds across seven games. He also claimed Best Defensive Player honors, adding 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. In Serbia's gold medal loss to the United States, Kusturica posted 37 points and nine rebounds. The performance marked his second consecutive summer establishing himself among the top international prospects. He earned MVP honors at last year's FIBA U16 EuroBasket, averaging 20.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists while leading Serbia to gold. Kusturica has been part of FC Barcelona's youth system since 2023. He became the youngest player in club history to appear for Barcelona's first team when he made his competitive debut in September 2025. UCLA coach Mick Cronin is expected to lean heavily on Kusturica despite his youth. The Bruins return three starters from last season's 24-12 squad and add four transfers from power-conference programs, including fellow Europeans Filip Jovic and Sergej Macura.

What does Sam Kerr’s return to the NWSL mean for the league, Gotham FC and the player herself?

The Australian superstar returns to the US after a seven-year absence – and will find a vastly changed landscapeWhen Sam Kerr last played for the National Women’s Soccer League’s Big Apple-adjacent club, it was called Sky Blue, and the playing conditions were comparatively abysmal. The Australian striker spent three years (from 2015-17) accruing accolades for a team infamously bereft of locker rooms or running water at its training facility. This July, she returned to a vastly evolved franchise that has won two NWSL Championships in three seasons while implementing a comprehensive overhaul of its players, personnel and prioritization of player conditions.Kerr’s return, called “a landmark moment for our club” by the president of soccer operations, Yael Averbuch West – whose role was intrinsic to Gotham’s progress – feels like an exciting moment of nostos for one of the greatest to ever play women’s professional soccer in the United States, and a sign of continued ambition for a program that has worked hard to overhaul its operations.
