25-year-old Serbian basketball player Borisa Simanic has undergone emergency surgery to remove a kidney after he was injured during the basketball World Cup in Asia.
Simanic was taken to a hospital in the Philippine capital Manila after being elbowed by South Sudan’s Nuni Omot in a group stage match on 30 August. Complications from an initial operation forced Simanic to undergo further surgery on 3 September, when one of his kidneys was removed. Serbian team doctor Dragan Radovanovic said he expected “the post-operative course to go smoothly”.
