Luka Doncic, currently starring for Slovenia at EuroBasket 2025, recently caused concern after limping off the court with a lower body injury in a physical matchup against Italy.

As rumors swirled about his status, his father Sasa Doncic quickly reassured fans via the Slovenian outlet siol.net, emphasizing that Luka’s condition remains “fine,” characterizing the injury as routine aches and bruises typical for a star handling heavy minutes in an intense international setting.

The demanding EuroBasket schedule, with games nearly every other day, amplifies the attention given to Doncic, underscoring the tournament’s grueling nature. 

Doncic’s Carry Job, Teammates Shine in EuroBasket

Sasa Doncic also stressed the collaborative aspect of Slovenia’s campaign, noting that while Luka’s dominance makes headlines, it is the support from his teammates that enables Slovenia’s continued progress.

Luka’s workload has been immense, with the superstar regularly logging the heaviest minutes and shouldering the brunt of scoring and playmaking. Averaging 34 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 3.2 steals per game, Doncic’s all-around performances, including a standout 42-point effort against Italy, have fueled Slovenia’s journey into the knockout stage. 

His shooting splits further highlight his impact; Doncic boasts a 61.4 percent field goal rate, converting 32.3 percent of his threes.

Notably, he’s raised his free-throw percentage from 78.2 percent in the NBA last season to an impressive 89.2 percent at EuroBasket, signaling ongoing improvement in all facets of his game. 

Outlook: Lakers Await a Healthy Doncic

Lakers fans have ample reason for optimism: despite the physical toll of international play, Luka Doncic appears poised to enter the NBA season in top form.

His EuroBasket run serves both as proof of peak fitness and as rehearsal for the type of leadership and production Los Angeles will rely on.

With a positive update from his father and no lingering health concerns, the Lakers organization can look forward to an offseason where Doncic recovers, refines his game, and prepares to chase a championship—all while building off remarkable summer success with Slovenia.
