Victim of an unfortunate elbow during the World Cup which led to the loss of a kidney, Borisa Simanic was present with his teammates, in Belgrade, to celebrate Serbia’s beautiful silver medal.
The opportunity for the Zaragoza player to give news of his health.
“I’m doing really well, really!” At first it was really annoying, but day by day it gets better. I have started walking and eating, so I hope my recovery will be quick”he explained on Serbian radio, in comments taken up by Eurohoops. “Because I had two surgeries, I was pretty much isolated for five days. I didn’t even have a phone.”
After recovering a little, he reassured his teammates by SMS, which boosted Bogdan Bogdanovic and company.
“When I was able to physically reach my cell phone for the first time, I sent them a message that really lifted their spirits. Their victories meant a lot to me, so we complemented each other. I followed their journey on the applications on my phone. »
It remains to be seen whether the 25-year-old basketball player will now be able to get back on track with his career. For the moment, everything is very vague for Borisa Simanic, who knows that the road will be long.
“At the moment, I don’t know much. Of course, I might play again. I only know that I must not do anything for three months. Afterwards, my kidney must heal. I will have to do tests during physical exertion and after that we will know everything”he soberly concluded.
