Boriša Simanić, a power forward on the Serbian national team, underwent surgery to remove a kidney after taking an elbow to the midsection during the FIBA World Cup.
On Sunday, Simanić underwent a second operation and had his kidney removed according to a statement by Serbian national team doctor Dragan Radovanović. He is expected to remain in hospitalized in Manila for some time to recover."My apologies, I didn't mean to make no type of a dirty play. I hope you have a speedy recovery. I pray for you, you'll be in my prayers," Omot said after the incident."I'm not a dirty player, I've never been a dirty player.
Simanić, 25, has played on the Serbian national team since he was a teenager. He played on the Utah Jazz Summer League team in 2022 and has played professionally in Serbian and Spain. He was a backup on the national team this summer, averaging six minutes a game. Serbia plays Lithuania in the World Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday. The team has placed Simanić's No. 28 jersey on an empty seat on their bench in their last two games.
