Luka Doncic was the best player of Slovenia at the FIBA World Cup. The Dallas basketball player played great games, even though he was injured.
Slovenia finished the FIBA World Cup in seventh place. Aleksandar Sekulic’s team defeated Italy 89:85 in the last game of the tournament after a great fight.
Luka Doncic did not hide the fact that he has an injury problem. After the first stage, he pointed out that he was in a lot of pain, but that he would play and try to help his national team.
The biggest problem for Doncic was a leg injury. Despite all that, the opponents constantly focused on him and played solid defense.
“It’s not right, I don’t know what to tell you. I have to get ready for one more game at the World Cup first, and then for the whole season in the NBA league” – said Doncic before the match with Italy.
After his team won seventh place, the Slovenian declared that he wants to play in the Olympic Games qualifiers.
“I will play for the national team regardless of everything. I will also play in the qualifiers for the Olympic Games, only if I am healthy” – concluded the Dallas basketball player.
