LJUBLJANA (Slovenia) – Any fears that Slovenia fans might have had about a Luka Doncic injury were laid to rest on Tuesday night as the superstar scored 28 points in his team’s 93-81 win over Great Britain – their first in preparation for FIBA EuroBasket 2025.
Doncic hit 21 points in the first half – with 20 of those coming in his first 10 minutes on court as he moved freely and shot the ball exceptionally – including a flawless 10-for-10 start from the foul line.
He ended up finishing 7-of-17 from the field and 12-for-14 from the stripe, whilst adding 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and a block.

His performance at the Stozice Arena certainly alleviated the worries of Slovenian fans, as Doncic came out in the middle of the third quarter against Latvia in Riga on Saturday with a knee injury.
However, Doncic’s injury wasn’t as severe as initially thought, and his showing against the Brits – who fell to 0-4 in their preparation for EuroBasket – proved that.
The fans also saw a complete team performance from Slovenia in the win, as they moved the ball beautifully and attacked the basket at will, ending up with 26 makes from the free throw line.
Despite their overall performances so far in the lead-up to EuroBasket, Slovenia will head to Katowice full of confidence.
They face Serbia in their final tune-up before they face Belgium, France, Iceland, Israel, and hosts Poland in Group D action.
