Nik Slavica (born 7 February 1997) is a Croatian professional basketball player for Adria Oil Škrljevo of the Croatian League. He can play at either the small forward or power forward positions, with small forward being his main position.

He was born in Šibenik to a father Nenad, former basketball player. Slavica moved to Zagreb, as a 10-year-old, to play for Cibona's youth teams,[1] and he spent one season on loan at KK Zrinjevac.

Professional career

Following the conclusion of his loan spell at Zrinjevac, during the 2013–14 season, Slavica returned to his parent club of Cibona, and he became a regular on the club's senior men's team, Cibona Zagreb, seeing action in the Croatian League, the ABA League, and the lower-tier level European-wide competitions of the FIBA Europe Cup,[2] and the Basketball Champions League.[3]

Slavica's name was included on a list of early entry candidates for the 2016 NBA draft, but he ultimately withdrew from the draft before the draft withdrawal deadline.[4]

On 30 September 2017, Slavica signed a multi-year contract with Cedevita.[5] In August 2018, he signed with Cibona.[6] Cibona parted ways with him on 28 December 2018.[7]

On 4 January 2019, he signed with home town club GKK Šibenka, but after the end of the season, the club parted ways with him.[8]

In January, 2020, Slavica signed with Adria Oil Škrljevo of the Croatian League.[9] His stay at Škrljevo ended with the Croatian League being halted due to the covid-crisis. A year and eight months later, in November, 2021, he was re-signed with Škrljevo.[10]
