The guard asked to be substituted and went straight to the locker room, which raised alarms among Lakers fans and his national team. After medical evaluations, the diagnosis was a minor contusion on the knee<\/strong>, ruling out major complications.\n\nThe Basketball Federation of Slovenia<\/strong> confirmed this Monday that Don\u010di\u0107 will be available for tomorrow’s Tuesday match against Great Britain<\/strong>, thus dispelling doubts about his participation in the final stretch of the preparation.\n\n\n

A key summer for Don\u010di\u0107<\/h3>\n\n\nThe Slovenian, who arrived at the Lakers in February after a surprising trade from Dallas, has worked intensely on his physical conditioning, an aspect that had been pointed out as one of his weaknesses in the past. In the preparation games he has shown a lighter and more dynamic version, scoring 19 points against Germany<\/strong> and 26 in the first half against Latvia<\/strong> before being injured.\n\n\n

EuroBasket 2025 in sight<\/h3>\n\n\nThe continental tournament will officially begin on August 27<\/strong>, with Slovenia debuting the following day against Poland<\/strong> in Group C<\/strong>, which also includes Iceland, France, Belgium, and Israel<\/strong>.\n\nDon\u010di\u0107’s recovery represents a relief for both his team and the Lakers, who see him as the cornerstone of their long-term project and couldn’t afford to lose him to an injury in a preparation match.
