Luka Dončić will not play for Slovenia against the United States in their exhibition on Saturday, his national team announced. Dončić took a blow to his left knee in the second quarter against Spain on Friday. More:
on a 3-point try in the second quarter, and remained in the game. He played a full load in the second half.
“Luka Dončić will miss today’s match against the United States of America as a precaution,” Saturday’s team statement read. “The captain received an unfavorable blow in the second quarter of yesterday’s match, and in the camp of the national team a few days before leaving for Japan, they do not want to leave anything to chance.”
So, whether this an actual “precaution” for injury, as the Slovenian team said, or a simple return to sanity, by either Dončić, the Mavericks, or them and Slovenia — the superstar will not play Saturday against his American colleagues. Dončić, by the way, has for days refused to speak to the media in Malaga, where the team has been training and playing since Thursday., his friend and former teammate in Dallas, has missed a game against each other. Brunson sat out what would’ve been his return to Dallas in December.
The Americans play Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET against Slovenia and Sunday against Spain, both in Malaga.
