Dallas Mavericks standout Luka Doncic has made a significant move during the NBA offseason. The conclusion of the NBA Finals marked the official start of the offseason, with teams now able to negotiate with their free agents under the league’s new collective bargaining agreement.
As free agency approaches, some players are also focusing on the upcoming Paris Olympics. There was uncertainty surrounding Doncic’s participation for Slovenia, considering his recent rigorous playoff campaign, which included battling through various injuries. However, it was confirmed on Monday that he has committed to joining the Slovenian national team.
Despite facing injuries during the postseason, Doncic managed to play every game, contributing to doubts about his Olympic availability. Nevertheless, the star guard is expected to start training with the team this week in preparation for the Paris Games.
The Paris Olympics are set to feature a wealth of basketball talent, with many of the NBA’s top players representing their respective countries. While Team USA is viewed as the frontrunner with what many consider its most formidable roster in program history, other national teams boast their own elite NBA talent. Team USA, aiming for gold, will encounter formidable opponents like Doncic on their quest for Olympic glory.
