Lucic expected to return to Serbia squad

Serbia head coach Dusan Alimpijevic is expected to include a veteran who has been away from the national team for a long time in the squad for the November window of the 2027 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers. According to Mozzart Sport, that player is Bayern Munich's Vladimir Lucic.

The experienced forward is not expected to play in the match against Lithuania in Klaipeda on November 26, due to Bayern Munich's EuroLeague schedule. The player is planned to be on the court against Italy in Belgrade on November 29.

Lucic last played for the Serbia national team in November 2022. In that game, Serbia defeated Turkey 77-76. Lucic is therefore preparing to return to the national team after a gap of about four years.
