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]
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]
