On Saturday, Luka Doncic suffered an injury during a Slovenian national team warm-up game against Latvia. Doncic is currently preparing for the 2025 FIBA EuroBasket tournament.
The injury occurred when one of Doncic’s teammates crashed into his legs. Doncic left the court of his own volition and was seen back on the bench shortly after.
Nevertheless, Lakers fans could be forgiven for fearing the worst. After all, Rob Pelinka has spent this summer rebuilding the Lakers roster around Doncic. An injury during a warm-up game would have been a disaster.
In a Sunday report on X from Marc Stein, it was confirmed that Doncic has avoided injury and is scheduled to practice with the Slovenian team on Monday.
“Luka Doncic is scheduled to be back at practice Monday, Slovenia’s basketball federation has announced, with his official status still TBD for Tuesday’s @EuroBasket warmup game at home against Great Britain,” Stein reported.
