Luka Doncic Will Play For Slovenia No Matter What

Slovenia got off to a 1-0 start at the 2023 FIBA World Cup as Luka Doncic bulldozed over Venezuela for a 100-85 victory in their Group F opener.

Following the contest, Doncic has made it clear he will be representing and playing for his country whenever he can. He also commented that missing the NBA Playoffs did not influence his decision to play in the World Cup.

“Every time I can play for the national team, I will play,” Doncic said. “Representing your country, you are always motivated, no matter what happens in the season. Obviously, it was disappointing that we could not make the Playoffs, but playing for your country is special. It is from the heart. And representing your country, it is amazing.”

Slovenia’s next game is against Georgia on August 28th, 4:30 AM.

Luka Doncic To Miss Time With Calf Strain

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks are bracing for the reality of missing their star player for an extended period.

Luka Doncic had an early exit in their Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves after suffering a calf injury in the first half. Once he went to the locker room, he never returned.

The 25-year-old left the arena in crutches, as it’s expected he completes an MRI Thursday.

Earlier in October, Doncic had a contusion on the same calf. This has been a reoccurring injury for some points in his career.

Doncic has played in 22 of the 30 available games for Dallas this season.
