Highly anticipated with Slovenia for the start of the Euro, Luka Doncic had another match to play before the start of the competition. The team led to the score, the Mavericks player found himself on the ground with a worrying injury. If he was able to come back, this is not the case for his nation, which took a big slap in the face of Dennis Schroder’s teammates.
Before thinking about returning to the Mavericks, where he will try to win his first career NBA title, Luka Doncic must make sure to stay healthy. He is currently with Slovenia for several matches, including the Euros which will start on September 1. Unsurprisingly, the Dallas player is aiming for gold, even if he has just had a hell of a fright on the court this Sunday.
Slight concern for Luka Doncic with Slovenia
Slovenia was opposed to Germany, in the context of qualifying for the 2023 World Cup. Dennis Schroder’s teammates made the difference with the score of 90-71, with a Doncic who even found himself on the ground, Blame it on an ankle problem. He got up with a limp, and not without causing great concern in a lot of people.

Luka Doncic has just hobbled on the court in Munich, Germany. He held his right ankle.
The important thing? Yes, Doncic got up and after breathing for a minute, he came back to the floor to try to save his team, without success. He still finished with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. We imagine that Slovenia, like the Mavericks, will want to be reassured about their state of health after the game:
Doncic checked back in after a minute or so. Slovenia and Mavs can breathe a sigh of relief.

Doncic returns to the floor after a short minute. Slovenia and the Mavericks can blow.
For Luka Doncic, this is definitely not the time to get injured. The Euro is about to begin, and a simple injury could have repercussions on the start of the Mavericks season. Hopefully the player is 100% after the game.
