Los Angeles Lakers superstar guard Luka Dončić suffered an injury during Saturday's Eurobasket exhibition game for the Slovenian national team against Latvia. However, NBA insider Marc Stein indicated that it's not believed to be serious. Stein reported that Dončić was diagnosed with a right knee contusion, which shouldn't affect his availability for the 2025 NBA season. That's a relief for Lakers fans, as Dončić is the present and future of the franchise. Injuries are always scary, but injuries sustained in non-NBA activity can creep up on fans out of nowhere.

Luka Doncic had an injury scare while playing for Slovenia in a tune-up game for EuroBasket when teammate Gregor Hrovat fell into Doncic's knee. Luka Doncic's teammate fell into him and the Lakers star appeared to injure his knee. Doncic asked out of the game and went back to the Slovenia locker room. Doncic limped back to the locker room but has avoided serious injury, reports Dan Woike of The Athletic. Doncic did not return to the game, however, he did return to the bench to watch the end of the exhibition against Latvia. We'll see what the diagnosis is once the doctors do more tests (LCL sprain?). Doncic impressed in the first half, scoring 26 points with five assists and five boards. Luka Doncic going to work in Slovenia's EuroBasket exhibition Lakers fans will be watching the rest of EuroBasket with concern... just like Bucks fans are watching the Greek side with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nuggets fans with Serbia and Nikola Jokic, and the list goes on and on.
