a low-usage forward with international upside for Lindenwood
In the 2025-26 season, Jovana Nikolic has been a limited-minute contributor for Lindenwood, averaging 0.7 points and 0.7 rebounds in about 2.7 minutes per game, with flashes of efficiency in a very small role.[8][13] What makes her interesting is the profile: a 6-2 Serbian forward with overseas production reported at 14.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 blocks, and 2.0 steals, plus a clean fit as a disruptive, rim-protecting frontcourt piece.[4][12] She also carries a real curveball factor—international experience and a developmental ceiling—but she is not yet a proven rotation anchor at the Division I level.[1][4]
