[pegs]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Due in large part to the play of Nenad Krstic, the Serbian national team defeated 2007 EuroBasket champion Russia on Sunday by a score of 75-74 to win the Mechel Cup in Moscow. Krstic, whose NBA rights will continue to be held by the Nets, was one of three Serbs scoring in double figures, scoring 13 points and grabbing seven rebounds in 22 minutes of play. Although not participating in the Olympics, the Serbian national team has travelled to Nanjing, China, where they will compete in the Diamond Ball Tournament for Men against Angola, Australia, China, Argentina, and Iran beginning July 29.</div>

I wonder why he didn't play. Is his injury bothering him? Or are they saving him? Who knows.
