Nikola Jokanović (Serbian: Никола Јокановић; 1961 – 26 November 2006) was a South African-Serbian professional basketball player and coach.
Jokanović started his playing career with a Užice-based team Prvi Partizan (nowadays Sloboda Užice). In 1980, he joined Crvena zvezda where he played for five seasons, until 1985. Afterward, he also played for two Belgrade-based teams IMT and Radnički.[1]
In the mid-1990s, Jokanović moved to South Africa.[2] In 2006, he was a player-coach for the Tshwane Suns of the South African Premier League (PBL).
On 26 November 2006, Jokanović died shortly after leaving the court in a PBL match against Olympians in Johannesburg. He collapsed in a dressing room at halftime.[3] [4] [2] [5]
