Slovenia didn’t have a very impressive campaign as they finished 7th in the tournament after losing to Canada in the quarterfinals, during which Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic was ejected in the fourth quarter. Following his ejection, Canada easily secured a 100-89 victory. Slovenia then defeated Italy in the 7th place game to conclude the tournament in 7th place. In comparison, Team Canada finished third after defeating Slovenia, losing to Serbia, and prevailing against their neighbors, the USA.
Shortly after their thrilling 127-118 overtime win over Team USA in the bronze medal game, Team Canada and its stars were spotted celebrating their victory over their neighbors. The fans’ attention quickly shifted when Luka was also seen in the same club as the bronze medalist team. NBA legend Carmelo Anthony was also spotted partying with Canadian star Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Luka himself.
This party following the FIBA World Cup might be the final one before the NBA season starts because training camps begin in three weeks, and the season opens next month. So, the players are looking to relax after a long campaign and prepare for training camp to perform at their best for their respective franchises. Specifically, Luka will be expected to lead his Dallas Mavericks to postseason success after they failed to make the playoffs last season.
Luka drops worrying news for Dallas Mavericks fans for upcoming season
Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic has not played more than 70 games in the NBA since his rookie season due to the injuries he has sustained throughout his career. Most of his injuries have occurred in his lower body. For instance, recently, after Slovenia’s loss to Lithuania last Thursday, Luka revealed that his leg is not okay. The left thigh injury has been troubling Luka since the All-Star break, leading to him managing his load for the rest of the season and causing his team to miss the playoffs.
Following his team’s loss, Luka spoke to the media and said that he will continue to play for Slovenia. He even played the game against Italy with the injury and has told the media that he will participate in the Olympic qualifiers next summer for Slovenia, all while playing an 82-game NBA season.
If Luka does not recover from the injury and the continuous pressure on it worsens, it could affect both Dallas and Slovenia. Fans are hoping that Luka does not overexert himself and takes the time to fully recover.
