Slovenia’s troubled road to EuroBasket 2025 continues with a 100-88 defeat against Latvia, but the biggest concern is the injury suffered by Luka Doncic.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar left the court in the third quarter after teammate Hrovat accidentally fell on his right leg.

After scoring 26 points in the first half, Doncic asked to be substituted due to the injury, and there are fears the issue could be serious.
