# 2019 Serbia FIBA Basketball World Cup team

The 2019 Serbia FIBA Basketball World Cup team represented Serbia at the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup in China. Serbia finished the tournament in fifth place with a 6–2 record and qualified for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

At the end of the tournament, head coach Đorđević announced his decision to leave the position after six years. For his performances, guard Bogdan Bogdanović was selected to the FIBA Basketball World Cup All-Tournament Team.

## Roster

On 24 May 2019, center Nikola Jokić, who earned All-NBA First Team honors, has confirmed that he will play at the World Cup. All players who won a silver medal at the 2017 EuroBasket in four European countries were included on the 34-man roster besides center Vladimir Štimac who announced his retirement from international basketball after Eurobasket at 29. Guard Branko Lazić is the only member of the 2017 Serbia roster who wasn't listed at the 18-man preliminary roster. Centers Jokić and Ognjen Kuzmić, and guard Marko Gudurić are members of the 18-man preliminary roster who didn't play a single game in the World Cup qualifications. On 1 July, the EuroLeague guard Nemanja Nedović expressed his disappointment on his cut from the 18-man preliminary roster. On 14 July, Kuzmić was involved in a serious traffic accident near Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which he got life-threatening injuries. On 15 July, Kuzmić was put out from the roster due to the unpredictability of the recovery time for such injuries, so coach Aleksandar Đorđević invited center Nikola Jovanović as his substitute. On 8 August, coach Đorđević announced the preliminary 14-man roster. On 10 August, the team captain Miloš Teodosić suffered a plantar fascia injury in his left foot in the game against Lithuania and will remain in the roster until new results are known after a recovery therapy. Forward Vladimir Lučić and guard Teodosić skipped the Acropolis Tournament due to injuries. On 16 August, guard Dragan Milosavljević suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee in the game against Turkey. On the next day, it was announced that guard Milosavljević would not be able to play at the World Cup due to the injury. On 20 August, coach Đorđević confirmed that a guard and team captain Teodosić won't play at the World Cup, due to the injury. Center Miroslav Raduljica was selected as a new team captain due to Teodosić's inability to play on the tournament. On 29 August, coach Đorđević officially announced the final roster.
The members of Serbia roster at the EuroBasket 2017 guards Stefan Jović, Vasilije Micić, Bogdan Bogdanović, Gudurić, forwards Stefan Birčević, Lučić and center Boban Marjanović are coming back to the World Cup roster. Forward Marko Simonović and centers Raduljica and Jokić make the first appearance at a major tournament since the 2016 Summer Olympics, while forward Nemanja Bjelica and center Nikola Milutinov previously played at the EuroBasket 2015. The 2019 World Cup marked the first time since EuroBasket 2011 that the Serbia national team roster didn't contain any players from the Basketball League of Serbia (KLS).
The average height of players in the roster was 2.06 metres (6 ft 9 in) which makes the Serbians the tallest roster in the tournament. Standing at 2.21 metres (7 ft 3 in), center Marjanović was the tallest player in the tournament. The average age was 28 years old.

Argentina were up for most of the game, but it was their response when Serbia took the lead at the start of the fourth that was impressive. Back-to-back and-one plays by Nicolás Laprovíttola and Luis Scola made it an 87–76 game with just over three minutes to play. That seemed to break Serbian spirits, there was no comeback by the team that had Nikola Jokić, Bogdan Bogdanović, Boban Marjanović and all the other stars here. Facundo Campazzo had 18 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals, becoming the first man with 15+ points, 10+ assists, 5+ rebounds and 3+ steals since Croatia's Toni Kukoč, who did it against Canada in 1994.

Serbia shot the lights out in the first period in Dongguan, connecting eight times from beyond the arc for a 32–7 lead heading into the second quarter. The Americans found their groove, though, dominated the second stanza and trailed by just four points at the half. Serbia led by just three points at the beginning of the final period, but behind Vladimir Lučić, Vasilije Micić and Boban Marjanović, they erected a 13-point lead with just 4:43 left. Team USA would still try to make a late comeback, trimming the lead to as little as four points, but it was all for nothing as the Serbians proved steadier down the stretch. It remained nip-and-tuck for much of the second half before the Serbians rebuilt their double-digit lead in the fourth period and successfully kept the Americans at bay. Bogdan Bogdanović and Lučić combined for 43 points to lead Serbia, while Harrison Barnes had 22 for the United States.

Behind a stingy defense and terrific perimeter shooting, Czech Republic erected a 50–41 lead at the half, but the Serbians got their act together in the last two periods to register their sixth win. Bogdan Bogdanović had the hot hand for Serbia with 31 points, and he was assisted well by Nikola Milutinov, who had 14. The Czechs, meanwhile, drew 16 points from Patrik Auda. Staring at a nine-point half-time deficit was not in Serbia's plans, but they rose to the occasion and turned the tables on the Czech Republic in the third quarter. The Serbians outscored their foes, 28–12, in that span to retake the lead for good.

## Aftermath

The Serbia roster ended their 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup campaign with a 6–2 record, finishing fifth. Serbia didn't manage to clinch the outright European berth for the 2020 Summer Olympics by failing to finish among two highest performing teams from FIBA Europe; Spain and France qualified instead. The only route for Serbia to qualify for the Summer Olympics is to won one of the Olympic qualifying tournaments.
At the end of the tournament, head coach Đorđević announced his decision to leave the position after six years. On 20 November, the Basketball Federation of Serbia named Igor Kokoškov the new head coach of the Serbia team.
