Đorđe Božić bo v novi sezoni nosil dres novomeške Krkež

Krka je okrepila svojo zasedbo za prihodnjo sezono s srbskim branilcem Đorđem Božićem.

“Za prihod v Krko sem se odločil, ker menim, da je kot klub pravo okolje za moj nadaljnji košarkarski razvoj. Nova izkušnja in novo okolje ponujata prostor za napredek, tako osebni kot igralski. Veselim se prihoda, navijačem pa sporočam, naj nas spremljajo, podpirajo ter nam stojijo ob strani,” se selitve v Novo mesto veseli Đorđe Božić.

Đorđe Božić (198 cm, 2001) je branilec, ki je večino kariere preživel pri Slobodi iz Užic. V članski konkurenci je debitiral že kot najstnik, nato pa se razvil v kapetana moštva in enega najboljših igralcev srbske lige. V sezoni 2020/21 je nastopal tudi v regionalni ligi ABA 2.

V sezoni 2024/25 je igral za Slobodo in Vršac. Najboljšo sezono je odigral v tekmovalnem letu 2025/26, ko se je kot kapetan vrnil v Slobodo. Na 32 tekmah je v povprečju dosegal 18,1 točke, 6,4 skoka, dve asistenci, 1,5 ukradene žoge in 0,7 blokade.

Na dveh tekmah srbske superlige proti Partizanu je skupno dosegel 31 točk. Na drugi tekmi je vknjižil dvojnega dvojčka s 14 točkami in 12 skoki, dodal pa je še pet asistenc.

Božić je vsestranski in telesno močan košarkar, ki je nevaren pri prodorih, metih z razdalje in v tranziciji. Odlikujejo ga borbenost, tekmovalnost, skok, obramba in sposobnost prevzemanja odgovornosti v pomembnih trenutkih.
