Luka on his health after national team practice: “I don’t want to go into detail. It’s a private matter. But everything is getting better, so that’s good.”

Glad the knee is getting better just in time to turn it into Salisbury steak again over the summer.Â
Sick.Â

He further comments, saying “It’s been a long season, so many games and so many injuries, but I decided to play (for Slovenia) and I’m here now. It’s an honour I get to be here (with the national team).
When asked about the conversation with the Mavericks front office about him playing for the national team right now and if there were any issues: “No. They know that I’m going to play so there was no need to talk about it.”
Edit: I forgot to add the source. This was a news segment on our national television channel RTV SLO 1.

I hope he’s being responsible with this

okay I get people are worried about his knee and ankle and chest and I do too but…I can’t lie I really really like his “playing like no tomorrow” attitude. Like I get it it may not be the best for him or for mavs but I just love when someone is this devoted and passionate.

Nope…I’m rooting hard for Greece to stomp out Slovenia. Sorry, my Slovenian friends, hopefully Luka gets time to get healthy, get fitter, and get better, and meanwhile Slovenia can fill out its national roster better before 2028.

He needs as much rest as he can get before game 5. We can still win this series

Luka is a monster, I couldn’t hate on this as Mavs fan if I tried. Sending the best for the homie. I’d love to see someone embarrass the US again.

He’s hurt every game. It’s a competitive tactic.

Meanwhile comments were downvoted a year ago for saying Luka can’t keep playing international ball every offseason without it poorly affecting this team.

Yes we’re greedy and in a perfect (Mav) world our boy would take this summer off with Slovenia not in position to make noise and his injuries so luka can rest. But let’s not act like we’re gonna get 20 years of luka basketball (the nba won’t get that either). This dude is gonna play 12 years, play like there is no tomorrow, and then retire one of the richest players in the world

hopefully the non competitive environment is allowing him to mostly rehab before the qualifiers. Then hopefully Greece and Croatia show up with a vengeance and Slovenia doesn’t qualify.
It sucks, but it’s honestly the best case scenario given Slo’s roster right now. Need to spend the next four years building up youth talent and probably naturalize someone better than Mike Tobey if they want to compete for a medal with Luka in his prime.
Shit naturalize DLive, he ain’t ever going to be on the US roster with how much big man depth the US has.

I get mavs fans might want him to rest, but consider that I think Luka would rather sit out the nba finals than the Olympics. This is the “price” you pay for having Luka. Your team is the second most important to him.
