Luka Doncic went down with a knee injury in Slovenia’s exhibition match with Latvia over the weekend. Lakers fans were holding their breath waiting for a Luka injury update. When it seemed clear that Luka’s knee contusion wasn’t going to be a serious issue, much of the worry dissipated.
Now, a further Luka injury update has been released, and his status for the Slovenia vs Great Britain EuroBasket matchup has been revealed.
Luka will be available in the Slovenia vs Great Britain game on Tuesday. This Luka injury update is huge news for Lakers fans. Not only is Luka’s knee injury not serious at all, but he will not even miss a single game of EuroBasket play recovering from it.
Hopefully, this means that the injury is completely healed. While playing for his home country is extremely important, the Lakers wouldn’t want their franchise star grinding through a real injury. The fact that he isn’t sitting out even one game indicates that everything is probably fine.
Luka’s play during this EuroBasket tournament will probably show the world what he is ready to do in the NBA next season. Everyone is aware that Luka is now in some of the best shape of his life. Many are expecting a full revenge season from Luka, and a strong showing for Slovenia in the EuroBasket tournament would show everyone that the Lakers are going to be formidable next season.
