Roster

edit

A 16-player roster was announced on 11 June 2024.[3] Several active EuroLeague or NBA players who have previously won medals with the Serbia national team, including Miloš Teodosić, Nikola Kalinić, Stefan Jović, Boban Marjanović, and Nemanja Nedović, were not included in the call-up or declined the invitation for various reasons.[6][7]

The roster also did not feature young talents who were drafted into the NBA this year, such as Nikola Topić and Nikola Đurišić, nor did it include Washington Wizards rookie Tristan Vukčević.[8]

Boriša Simanić, who was part of the team at the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup that secured participation in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, has not fully recovered and was also not part of the broader list. On 30 August 2023, while playing against South Sudan, Simanić was struck in the kidney by Nuni Omot while defending the basket. This blow resulted in a major injury which required his kidney to be removed.[9]

Due to unavailability, Vladimir Lučić was replaced by Aleksa Radanov on 24 June 2024.[10]

The final squad was announced on 23 July 2024.[5] The roster, which includes nine players who participated in last year's World Cup, features the return of stars Nikola Jokić and Vasilije Micić, while newcomer Uroš Plavšić made his debut representing Serbia.[11]
