The Serbian Basketball Federation made an announcement on Monday regarding the unfortunate news of forward Borisa Simanic losing one of his kidneys due to an injury sustained during a Fiba World Cup game against South Sudan.
Simanic underwent two surgeries in Manila, with complications arising after the first surgery, leading to a second procedure on Sunday where the kidney had to be removed, as explained by team doctor Dragan Radovanovic.
Serbia is scheduled to face Lithuania in the World Cup quarterfinal on Tuesday.
After hearing about Simanic’s injury, Serbian forward Nikola Milutinov expressed his concern, stating, “It was really tough for us when we heard what happened. First, we didn’t believe it was such a bad thing. It’s really affected us. We’re really praying for him that he’s going to be good as soon as possible.”
