The incident occurred during last Wednesday's match, with less than two minutes remaining, when Simanic was hit in the stomach by South Sudan striker Nuni Omot. Simanic was visibly unwell and squatted on the court at one point. He was taken to a hospital in Manila after the match and underwent surgery that night.

Serbia coach Svetislav Pesic later said that Simanic had lost a lot of blood and it was not easy to find a suitable blood transfusion. Although the Serbian Basketball Association (KSS) announced that all of Simanic's organs had been preserved, the situation was not optimistic.

It was first reported that Simanic had lost one of his kidneys, and KSS later confirmed the news. Simanic underwent surgery again yesterday after his first post-operative complications.

The early end of Simanic's World Cup is a foregone conclusion, whether it will affect his future career is still unknown.

"Elbow" Nunniomot was asked about the court accident after playing against the Philippines last week, and he apologized, but stressed that he was not intentional, that he was not "dirty" to play, and would continue to pray for Simanic
