Aleksander Sekulic, the head coach of Slovenia, spoke to Slovenian media about the status of Vlatko Cancar and Luka Doncic.
The Lokomotiv Kuban head coach emphasized that they only want to do one thing, and that is to go to Piraeus with the strongest team. It is well known that Doncic is playing injured in the NBA Finals, but this does not dampen their optimism.
“We have only one plan, and that is to go to the Olympic qualifiers with the strongest lineup. No one knows what will happen until then, so we have to adapt as we go. If we live in worry, we wouldn’t be working normally. Don’t worry, we’ll talk about Luka Doncic after the Finals are over. We are all rooting for him to win the title. Then we’ll see how to prepare him, whether with training, physiotherapy, but there is a lot of uncertainty in the air,” Aleksander Sekulic began.
And regarding Vlatko Cancar:
“Vlatko Cancar has also been working in America to be able to join the national team. I believe that the fitness staff will prepare him to be able to play. If Cancar and Muric were not ready, they wouldn’t be here. The truth is that they are not in training form, so we need to prepare them to help us.”
Slovenia will play twice against Lithuania during the preparation period and once against Brazil. Then, in the Olympic qualifying tournament, they will play with New Zealand and Croatia in the group stage. The tournament will take place from July 2 to 7.
