Beno Udrih is recovering from knee operation, otherwise people that know him said he wanted to play this time
and adding two more that would've otherwise been there with th NT:
Erazem Lorbek is recovering for 1.5 years now, supposed to be ready for bball sometime in October the last time I've heard about him
Aleksej Nikolič got pressured from Brose Basket not to play
 
Serbia - Bobi isn't exactly injured, real reason should be banned by NBA club to participate (on account of suspected injury). Otherwise, he's perfectly fit to play.

Was thinking to add Erazem, but wasn't sure if even healthy he would make the team nowadays, didn't hear about him too long. Anyways put him into list, hope he will remind of himself next season
 
It might not be that important but Turkey lost Can Maxim Mutaf to an injury (ACL).
He was called to the national team but injured during training.
 
Great job Mindozas.

Slovenia and Ukraine are in really hard positions.

He was never some athletic guy to begin with, I think he could make a difference, he always had that "old mans game" that translate well towards age/injuries... well, at least judging our other big guys, without any pun intended, Erazen is a definition of basketball for them and it wouldn't take more than a little dream shake now and than to make a difference. Not that he was able to jump up in the sky before the injury either :)
In reality, yeah, it's pretty much a questionmark on which level will he be able to play when he comes back. His dreams were to sign for the Spurs, as far as I've been told he had an arrangement to finish one more year in Barca and get there, just when the injury striked... now that's out of the question as I don't think he'll be able to repeat his performances from 2-3 years ago.
 
Teletović doesn't have health problems anymore, he just agreed with his new club(Suns) that he will not play. There are some more missings, Kenan Karahodžić and Emir Sulejmanović must wait to turn 21, untill that because of different reasons FIBA will not give them permission to play for BiH. Also Edin Atić will not join to senior national team for Eurobasket as it was planned because of the injury in the third place game against Lithuania on FIBA U18 Championship.
 
Well, he could have helped them in certain situations as a kamikaze-type defender.
 
Zirbes just tweaked his ankle..
it looked rather bad but he got up and limped off the court..
 
Luca Vitali,most probably our 11th or 12th man, will miss Eurobasket!
