Slovenia and Germany meet in a hotly-anticipated FIBA EuroBasket quarterfinal on Wednesday as both countries aim to take a giant leap towards ultimate glory in Latvia. Luka Doncic carries the hopes of Slovenia on his shoulders again, doing so with MVP-like showmanship on a nightly basis.
Doncic is arguably the favorite, alongside Alperen Sengun, to win the MVP award. However, the LA Lakers superstar has been struggling with injuries. After managing his knee issues, Doncic picked up a leg injury on Sunday against Italy in the Round of 16.
The 26-year-old raised alarms as he hobbled off the court during the first quarter after jamming his leg against Italian guard Alessandro Pajola. However, encouraging signs soon followed as he returned to action and finished the game with 42-points to guide Slovenia to an 84-77 win. He has since delivered a positive update.
