Luka Doncic suffered an injury scare in Slovenia friendly on Saturday
However, disaster seemed to strike when Doncic collided with a teammate and appeared to injure his knee. To that point, he had posted 26 points and five assists in the first half, and he was forced to leave the game.
The good news is that, per Dan Woike of The Athletic, the superstar didn't suffer any serious or significant injury.
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Doncic has a right knee contusion.
Some Lakers fans have been concerned that since Doncic is representing his country this summer, he may either suffer an injury or simply take some unnecessary wear and tear into the 2025-26 NBA season. However, injuries can happen at any time, and after all, LeBron James, at age 39, played for Team USA men's basketball last summer without getting hurt while helping to deliver a gold medal.

Freund gives update on Gnabry and Laimer
It looked like Bayern's Serge Gnabry and Konrad Laimer were substituted off after injuries in yesterday's Franz Beckenbauer Supercup victory in Stuttgart, but Christoph Freund has now confirmed they will not be in danger of missing Friday's Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig. 'Serge (Gnabry) fell on his knee and also had a slight cramp. He was pretty tired, too. But it shouldn't be too serious," said Bayern's sporting director. "Laimer had a cramp and had already had problems with his little toe. All of that combined was a bit too much. But it shouldn't be that bad." Harry Kane spoke about Bayern's lack of depth for the upcoming season. With no settlement on Nick Woltemade's proposed move, Bayern are now prioritizing the deal to bring Christopher Nkunku, who is out of Chelsea's squad for their opening Premier League fixture.
