According to L'Équipe, Marca.

Luka Dončić, the star of the Slovenian national team and the Los Angeles Lakers, avoided a serious injury after an incident during the friendly match against Latvia on August 16. During the game, Dončić received a blow to the knee, which forced him to leave the court. However, on August 17, the Slovenian Basketball Federation confirmed that the player does not have any serious injuries and will return to training on August 19.

This news has been a relief for fans, as Dončić is a key figure in the team. He demonstrated good form, scoring 19 points in the first half of the match against Latvia, despite Slovenia's overall defeat with a score of 88-100.

Slovenia is preparing for Eurobasket, which will take place from September 27 to October 14. In the group stage, the team will face Poland, France, Belgium, Iceland, and Israel. To qualify for the playoffs, they need to secure one of the top four spots in the group.

Dončić has also signed a new three-year contract worth $165 million with the Lakers, which increases interest in his performances. His health is critically important for both teams, as his presence can significantly impact Slovenia's chances at Eurobasket and the Lakers' prospects in the new NBA season.
