"In 15 days, we'll start practicing," Doncic told Dallas Mavericks reporters in his exit interview. "Then we have the World Cup Qualifiers, then we have some break, and then we have to get ready for the EuroBasket. A busy summer."

"I always say - if I'm not injured or anything, I'm going to play for the national team," Luka assured the fans.

Doncic averaged 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 8.7 assists in the 2021-2022 NBA season. The Doncic-led Mavericks went to the Western Conference Finals where they lost against the Golden State Warriors in 5 games.
