Adelaide 36ers captain DJ Vasiljevic will again wear the green and gold next month after being selected for the Australian Boomers team for the next FIBA window.

Vasiljevic, who was part of the Boomers extended squad for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, headlines the 12-man team to play Korea and Thailand.

The 190cm guard said playing on the international stage is the pinnacle for him and can’t wait to play next month.

“I always love the opportunity to play for Australia and represent the country,” Vasiljevic said.

“I’ve made it no secret I want to play at the Olympics and to be in the Boomers system.”

Australia will play Thailand in Bangkok on November 21 before travelling to Goyang to battle Korea on November 24 in the qualifying process for the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup.

The Boomers are defending FIBA Asia Cup champions from 2022 and are currently top of Group A with a 2-0 record ahead of next year’s tournament in Saudi Arabia.
