Lakers Star Recovers from Knee Contusion…
Fans worldwide were practically swallowing their popcorn whole when Doncic’s knee had an impromptu meeting with destiny—or rather, a teammate—during Slovenia’s EuroBasket exhibition. Lakers fans were especially concerned, clutching their jerseys like they were holding blueprints to the basketball universe. Fortunately, Doncic was diagnosed with a knee contusion, and now Slovenia’s court is ready to rock as he’s back for Tuesday’s game against Great Britain. It’s as if the basketball gods had a change of heart, seeing as the Great Britain team doesn’t boast any NBA players. The game starts at 11:00 a.m. PT in Ljubljana.
Lakers’ darling Luka Doncic, who’s been making baskets like he’s playing for a candy factory, surprisingly spilled the beans on Michael Jordan—a name practically tattooed in the NBA hall of legends. While he has been compared to Kobe Bryant and Jordan himself, Doncic insists that Jordan is really just a “normal guy.” I mean, sure, if normal guys have a planet named “winning” and a sky-high 45-inch vertical. Doncic’s glamorous life with brand deals has even taken him to Yankee Stadium, where he marveled at Aaron Judge’s homer-uns. You never know, Doncic might start thinking he’s in the wrong sport!
