Slovenia completed their five exhibition games and are now ready for EuroBasket 2025 to begin.
This is the best European basketball competition and Luka Dončić will be ready to give his all and help Slovenia win their second EuroBasket title. They won the tournament back in 2017 when Luka was also on the roster.
Slovenia will play in Group D, taking on Poland, France, Belgium, Iceland and Israel.
This tournament features 24 total teams and for Slovenia to advance to the knockout round, they have to finish in the top four in their group.
During EuroBasket 2022, Slovenia finished first in their group, but failed to get out of the quarterfinals, losing to Poland 90-87.
Slovenia won’t be favored to win it all this year, given that top teams like France and Serbia will be participating. However, as long as they have Luka, they have a shot at making some noise.
Luka has played well during the exhibition games leading up to EuroBasket.
These opportunities to represent his country are moments Luka takes seriously. He participates in these kinds of competitions as long as they do not conflict with his NBA duties.
From the Lakers fans’ perspective, the ideal situation is for Luka to perform well, showcasing his new physique and improved performance and then return to Los Angeles in excellent condition, ready to start training camp.
All EuroBasket games will be streaming on Courtside 1891, so be sure to sign up for a subscription to easily watch Luka and Slovenia take on the rest of Europe.
