Luka Doncic had LA Lakers fans panicking after his injury scare during Slovenia’s exhibition game against Latvia on Saturday. During a fastbreak opportunity in the third quarter, Latvia quickly brought the ball up the court as Doncic assumed a defensive position in the paint.
Tragedy struck when Doncic’s teammate, who was the on-ball defender, lost his footing and crashed into the Lakers star’s right knee. The star guard writhed in pain before taking a seat on the bench and ultimately headed to the locker room.
Fortunately, the Slovenian managed to avoid any significant injury, as reported by Dan Woike on Saturday. Luka Doncic returned to the lineup on Tuesday night to face Great Britain in an exhibition game. He didn’t seem bothered by his injury scare from earlier in the week, finishing with 28 points and 10 assists.
