Borisa Simanic revealed that he wasn\u2019t called to join Serbia for the EuroBasket<\/p>\n By Eurohoops team \/\u00a0info@eurohoops.net<\/a><\/p>\n Igokea forward Borisa Simanic expressed his disappointment over being left out of the Serbian national team roster ahead of the EuroBasket with an emotional message on social media.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you Serbia. I give you a kidney, glory and joy and you give me humiliation and sadness!\u201d Simanic wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n During the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Simanic lost his kidney in the aftermath of receiving an elbow hit to the midsection in a game between Serbia and South Sudan. He was initially operated the same night after the game but there were complications that forced a second surgery for the removal of his kidney.<\/p>\n A year later, Simanic returned to basketball by signing with Igokea in Serbia. He averaged 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in the 2024-25 ABA League and signed an extension with the club earlier this summer.<\/p>\n Simanic made his national team comeback during the 2025 EuroBasket Qualifiers, playing in both the November and February Windows.<\/p>\n Serbia has yet to unveil the preliminary roster of the national team of the EuroBasket. It\u2019s expected that Denver Nuggets<\/a> superstar Nikola Jokic will be present, together with Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> guard Bogdan Bogdanovic and new Hapoel Tel Aviv guard Vasilije Micic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2025-07-19T19:18:26+00:00 2025-07-19T19:18:26+00:00 2025-07-19T19:34:58+00:00.
