Watch: Luka Doncic highlights versus Latvia on Saturday
Luka Doncic took the court for his second friendly leading up to EuroBasket 2025 on Saturday when his native Slovenia took on Latvia. He had missed his team's previous two games, but on Saturday, he put on a show.
His onslaught was aborted when he suffered a knee injury that was later diagnosed as a knee contusion that isn't believed to be serious. But before that, Doncic looked like his best self.
In the first half of Saturday's contest, he had 26 points and five assists, and as he often does, he put up his numbers with some flair and spark.
In all, Doncic shot 7-of-15 overall, 5-of-11 from 3-point range and made all seven of his free throw attempts. But Latvia outscored Slovenia 27-13 in the third quarter and won, 100-88.
In Slovenia's first friendly last Friday, Doncic scored 19 points and dished out five dimes.
The team's next game will be on Tuesday, Aug. 19 versus Great Britain. It will begin its official EuroBasket schedule on Aug. 28 with a contest against Poland.
It remains to be seen how long Doncic will be out due to the knee contusion he suffered on Saturday. However, it sounds like Los Angeles Lakers fans don't need to be too concerned about his availability for training camp and the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season.
