Luka Dončić Avoids Serious Injury After Exiting Slovenia’s Exhibition vs. Latvia

Dončić scored 26 points with four rebounds and five assists in the first half before leaving in the third quarter after contact to his right knee. He limped off for evaluation, returned to the bench with ice on his knee but did not reenter the game despite his protests. The Athletic’s Dan Woike reported that Dončić escaped any serious structural damage on the play. Slovenia’s coaching staff has already implemented a minutes-management approach in exhibitions to ease him back after his offseason conditioning overhaul. His availability for Slovenia’s EuroBasket opener on August 27 will depend on ongoing monitoring and any precautionary rest he may require.
