Luka Doncic adds to highlight reel as Slovenia defeats Estonia in World Cup Qualifier

The Dallas Mavericks have been watching closely as Luka Doncic leads the Slovenian National Team this summer. Luka piloted them to two World Cup qualifying wins to begin the summer, but the action is just heating up as they faced Estonia in another qualifier on Aug. 25.

Estonia came out hot and fired up, but Doncic quickly responded and got his country in front, and they never looked back. The 23-year-old led Slovenia to a 104-83 blowout win to push his country to 5-2 in World Cup qualifying. Slovenia has lost just two games with Luka in the lineup, and both happened at last summer’s Olympics where they finished fourth.

Doncic put on a show in front of the home crowd on Thursday as he narrowly missed a triple-double. Here is a closer look at Luka’s performance, a few of his highlights, and what is next for the Slovenian National Team.
