PHOENIX – Six thousand miles felt like next door to Nikola Jokic this week when tragedy hit his home country of Serbia.A 13-year-old boy on Wednesday morning used his father’s guns to kill eight school children and a school guard in the country’s capital, Belgrade, less than 200 kilometers from Jokic’s hometown of Sombor.“It’s something that I don’t remember it happening in Serbia and I’m really sorry about everything that the families are going through,” Jokic told reporters here as the Nuggets prepared for Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Suns on Friday night. “It’s something that you don’t want to hear about and probably when it hits something that’s around you, a little bit closer to you — if that makes sense — in Serbia and it’s never happened before, it’s tough.”According to The Associated Press, the shooting is the first at a school in Serbia’s modern history.Related ArticlesDenver Nuggets | Keeler: Kevin Durant is fried.

Brewers starter Wade Miley mastered the Rockies for six scoreless innings, giving up just three hits. At that point, Colorado’s deficit looked as big as the Grand Canyon.But the Rockies final...
