Now relieved to have simply suffered at a time with a right knee and not of a serious injury, Luka Doncic was able to resume the path of training this Monday, before the next meeting of preparation of Slovenia against Great Britain.
It would have been a shame to see the Slovenian being cut in his momentum, within a decisive summer for him, between his extension of contract with the Lakers and his physical transformation. The star would have lost almost 15 kilos and his teammates in the national selection, Edo Muric and Aleksej Nikolic, can testify.
“It is faster and jumps more. I expect to see its best version this year. He says it himself: he is in much better physical form “says Muric for Basketnews. “It’s very hard to defend on him”adds Nikolic, who has been alongside Luka Doncic in recent years during international competitions.
Nevertheless, Edo Muric does not only want to talk about the physique of his teammate because the former Dallas, at 26, begins to have a huge experience at the international level.
“Each year, it is more and more vocal. We need that from him. It is our leader and it is necessary, on and off the field. He matures, he knows what he is talking about and it is a pleasure to follow him ”, explains the winning player of Eurobasket 2017 with Dononic. “He has more experience, he is more mature, he understands the game better. He showed everyone that he was one of the best players in the world. And it remains. »»
