After an injury scare on Saturday, it appears Luka Dončić and the Lakers dodged a bullet.
During Slovenia’s warm-up game against Latvia, Luka exited the game early in the second half after having a teammate fall into his legs. Initially, the injury looked to be serious as Luka hopped off the court without putting weight on his leg. Eventually, he limped off the court and eased some worries by walking around without a limp or ice on his knee after the final buzzer.
Following the game, both longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein and Dan Woike of The Athletic reported that Luka had avoided any serious injury and would remain with the team.
Slovenia will return to the court on Tuesday when they play against Great Britain. Then, they will wrap up their exhibition games on Thursday against Serbia.
