Luka Dončić made his long-awaited summer debut for Slovenia in a EuroBasket 2025 warm-up game against Germany, showing flashes of midseason form. In just 24 minutes, he put up 19 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds, keeping Slovenia competitive despite a 103–89 home loss. The night also featured moments that reminded fans why Luka is one of the game’s most entertaining players.
From deep threes to crafty finishes, the Lakers star kept the crowd engaged while displaying the confidence that has become his trademark on both the NBA and international stage. Midway through the game, though, tensions briefly flared.
After a dunk by Germany’s Isaac Bonga, Luka responded with a fiery exchange that earned him a technical foul. Despite the chippy moment and early foul trouble, referees opted against further punishment, allowing Luka to finish the game strong. His ability to quickly refocus and produce a highlight-reel circus shot spoke to a maturing competitive edge, something both Slovenia and the Lakers will count on moving forward.
