After the victories against Great Britain and Turkey in November, Serbia NT have two more qualifying games to play in order to officially seal their pass for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, which will be held this summer in Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

The 'Eagles' will play against Greece in Athens on Friday, February 24, and then on Monday, February 27 against Great Britain in the Aleksandar Nikolic Hall.

Coach Svetislav Pesic has selected 24 players for the upcoming qualification window.

The list includes the following players:

Danilo Andjusic Aleksa Avramovic Dusan Beslac Nemanja Dangubic Dejan Davidovac Ognjen Dobric Marko Guduric Nikola Djurisic Marko Jagodic Kuridza Ognjen Jaramaz Marko Jeremic Stefan Jovic Vasilije Micic Dusan Miletic Nikola Milutinov Luka Mitrovic Nemanja Nedovic Marko Pecarski Filip Petrusev Aleksa Radanov Dusan Ristic Borisa Simanic Uros Trifunovic Aleksa Uskokovic

The gathering of the Serbian national team will begin after the final tournaments of national cup competitions across Europe.

Given the fact that the two Serbian powerhouses have a large number of international players, it remains to be seen whether they'll become available for the national team. The same goes for Vasilije Micic (Anadolu Efes) and Marko Guduric (Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul).

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade host Fenerbahce on February 23 (21:00 CET), while Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade play ALBA Berlin the next day, at roughly the same time (19:00) Serbia will be facing off with Greece.
