Lakers’ Luka Doncic Reports Minor Injury at EuroBasket 2025

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic has been delivering dominant performances at EuroBasket 2025 for Slovenia, averaging 34 points per game and leading his team in multiple statistical categories. Despite suffering a lower-body injury earlier in the tournament and a scare during a game against Italy, Doncic has continued to play through pain, with his father, Sasa Doncic, confirming that his condition is fine, noting bruises and soreness as expected given the tournament's physical demands and condensed schedule. Luka’s father emphasized the importance of the entire Slovenian team’s contribution, countering narratives that focus solely on Luka’s individual efforts. Luka himself acknowledged the need for therapy but remains confident in his ability to compete fully. Slovenia has advanced to the EuroBasket quarterfinals, where they will face Germany, with hopes that Doncic will maintain his health and form. The Lakers recently secured Doncic with a three-year, $165 million max extension, underscoring his value and the expectations for his future with the franchise.
