Doncic Shrugs Off Knee Scare in Slovenia Loss…
Luka Doncic, now with the Los Angeles Lakers, has been working so hard this summer that if hard work were a superpower, he’d be levitating on the court by now! Amidst preparing for next season after his jaw-dropping departure from the Dallas Mavericks, Doncic joined his Slovenian teammates for the EuroBasket showdown. Unfortunately, Slovenia isn’t exactly winning trophies yet—they’re now 0-4 after a 100-88 slip to Latvia. During this game, Luka gave everyone a heart attack by limping off in the third quarter. But fret not, it’s just a knee contusion. Apparently, one of his buddies on court decided impersonating a bowling ball was the best idea, rolling straight into Luka’s knee!
After getting checked out, Luka returned to cheer from the sidelines as if giving the tooth fairy a morale boost. The buzz is that nothing serious is at play, allowing him to continue repping Slovenia like a true champ. Word has it, the Lakers caught up with him and gave him the thumbs up to keep playing. While Luka’s vocal game was once quieter than a ninja tip-toeing on marshmallows, his Slovenian teammate praised him for growing as a leader—because leading a team is hard work when your basketball moves make gravity itself question its existence.
