Overview

• During the third quarter of Slovenia’s friendly against Latvia in Riga, Dončić landed on his right knee and left the court limping, missing the rest of the game.
• He received on-site treatment and watched the remainder of the match from the bench in street clothes as he awaits further medical evaluation.
• A source cited by The Athletic indicated that the injury does not initially appear severe, and final diagnostic results are still pending.
• The outcome of those evaluations will determine his availability for EuroBasket 2025, which begins August 27 across venues in Cyprus, Finland, Poland and Latvia.
• The injury also raises questions about his durability as he heads into the Lakers’ season after signing a three-year, $165 million extension.
