Serbia dedicates win over Lithuania in FIBA World Cup quarters to injured teammate
Bogdan Bogdanivic said the Serbian national basketball team dedicates its 87-68 quartefinal win over Lithuania at the Mall of Asia Arena on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2023, to teammate Borisa Simanic, who underwent two surgeries, including one that removed one of his kidneys. The injury was caused by an inadvertent elbow by South Sudan’s Nuni Omot in the first round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup. Bogdanivic said Simanic's injury inspired the team to win the game that sends them to the semifinals.

00:00 I want to start just to say something from this morning.
00:04 Our teammate who is still with us, Borislav Simunic, he gave us amazing energy.
00:13 We were nervous yesterday, you know, moving to another hotel from Grand Hyatt to Conrad and everything.
00:21 We were nervous, I was especially nervous.
00:23 I was somehow, with my young age, I was always losing against Lithuania.
00:28 I was so nervous.
00:30 I saw a message from Borislav in the morning after the meeting, long meeting.
00:37 He was, "Guys, I'm good, don't worry, let's win tonight."
00:43 From him, just to think about us, after everything that happened to him, he united us, I would say.
00:53 That's an amazing, amazing guy and this is for him as well.
00:59 Thank you.
