A 16-player roster was announced on 11 June 2024. The roster also did not feature young talents who were
drafted into the
NBA this year, such as
Nikola Topić and
Nikola Đurišić, nor did it include
Washington Wizards rookie
Tristan Vukčević.
Boriša Simanić, who was part of the team at the
2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup that secured participation in the
2024 Summer Olympics in
Paris, has not fully recovered and was also not part of the broader list. On 30 August 2023, while playing against
South Sudan, Simanić was struck in the kidney by
Nuni Omot while defending the basket. This blow resulted in a major injury which required his kidney to be removed. Due to unavailability,
Vladimir Lučić was replaced by
Aleksa Radanov on 24 June 2024. The final squad was announced on 23 July 2024. The roster, which includes nine players who participated in last year's
World Cup, features the return of stars
Nikola Jokić and
Vasilije Micić, while newcomer
Uroš Plavšić made his debut representing Serbia.{{cite web|title=Plavšic, Serbia to Begin Olympics against Team USA The following were candidates to make the team: ;Notes == Staff ==
