Matej Erjavec, President of Slovenian Basketball Association (KZS): “After the Western Conference Finals, Luka told us that despite the Finals, he would play for the national team on the condition that everything is okay with him.”

Dude’s a warrior but he needs a break. Hopefully he doesn’t get cleared or Slovenia gets knocked out early to hasten his rest.
Well this rules out any possibility of the Mavs trading the 2025 1st, without some heavy protections.
Not that I ever expected him to actually sit the Olympics out, but it does worry me that he’s not giving his body the proper recovery time
This group they are on is brutal. Even with a healthy Luka I don’t see this Slovenia roster making the Olympics
are we gonna get the yearly offseason picture about how lean he looks
That SLO branding couldn’t delight me more.
The Slovenian team colors are sweet. Might have to pick up a jersey this year
A real DAWG

Like it was ever in doubt
He’s already lost like 30 lbs
He’ll be ready. Just taking it SLO.
Let’s hope they get knocked out early for his sake
Hopefully Slovenia gets eliminated ASAP. Luka needs ample rest and recovery with all the injuries he racked up in the past several months. He needs an actual off-season before training camp starts
RIP knees
Can we get the Slovenian team’s marketing team to Dallas. Their jerseys and shirts are always 🔥🔥
That SLO white boy. Hilarious. I do worry for his off season recovery, though.
One day…
Mavs logo take notes
C’mon man. Spend some time with your family and get some rehab massages every day. Take some rest.
Dude, I’m a red blooded American but deadass if Slovenia plays USA in the Olympics, I’m gonna be rooting for Luka/Slovenia. Fight me idc
I guess after being top scorer in regular season and top all stats in the playoffs, he must’ve read some comments here on Reddit and so he realized he is actually fat and completely out of shape, so he better train and play some more during the summer.
Of course, he was always going to play. He loves Slovenia more than the Mavs, some Mavs fans have a hard time coping with that but it’s the truth.
I love Luka. Please understand yall. This is stupid. His health and priorities should be to the Mavs first.
Dude is shortening his career by not resting. Slovenia NT is poorly mismanaging him.
