Slovenians on their best player's injury: Dončić to return to training soon

(Patria) - Luka Dončić, one of the best basketball players today, suffered an awkward fall during a friendly match against Latvia, but fortunately, it is not a serious injury.

The Latvians won in Riga with a score of 100:88, but a bigger cause for concern for the Slovenian public was the fact that Dončić could not finish the match.

By the time he had to leave the court in the middle of the third quarter, the Slovenian captain had scored 26 points and was the most effective player of the match.

However, the Basketball Federation of Slovenia quickly reassured fans with an announcement that Dončić is well and will continue with training in the coming days.

"After the match in Riga, the national team continues preparations for the Eurobasket on Monday. Already on Tuesday, we expect a clash with Great Britain in Arena Stožice, and captain Luka Dončić, who fortunately finished the match against Latvia without injury, will also train with the team," the statement reads, accompanied by a photo of Dončić from training.

This news also pleases fans in Serbia, as Slovenia will visit the Belgrade Arena on Thursday, August 21st. It will be a spectacle in front of more than 20,000 spectators, who will have the opportunity to watch the duel between Dončić and Nikola Jokić live, as well as other European basketball stars.

We remind you that Slovenia will play in the Eurobasket in a group located in Katowice, along with Poland, France, Belgium, Iceland, and Israel.
