We are proud to announce that our Natasa Kovacevic is set to make her comeback  tonight with Red Star Belgrade. Natasa lost her lower left leg in a bus accident and now, 26 months later, she is set to become the first disabled European player to play in a professional team.
Kovacevic, whose Twitter bio  reads 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger', will use a special prosthesis.
The accident occurred when the 21-year-old was with another team - Gyor - and claimed the lives of the team's coach and general manager in September 2013.
At 6ft 2in and as a bronze medallist at the European Under-18 Championships in 2012, Kovacevic was seen as one of her country's most promising players.
But after her accident, intensive treatment and rehabilitation allowed Kovacevic to sign for Red Star in early November.
In 2014, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) appointed Kovacevic as a youth ambassador. In the same year, along with Interperformances, she announced the Natasa Kovacevic Foundation, with the purpose of helping athletes who may have faced problems such as were faced by Natasa, for humanitarian reasons and to promote Female Basketball worldwide.
