Officially confirmed, right knee contusion! The Lakers quickly intervened, and Pelinka was helpless

On the stage of the Men's Basketball European Cup, a highly anticipated warm-up match was fiercely launched between Latvia and Slovenia. Doncic, the core player of Slovenia, is undoubtedly the focus of the game. His superb ball skills, excellent passing vision and strong scoring ability have made countless fans crazy. After only 17 minutes of playing in the first half, he showed extremely high competitive level. He did everything with ease whether it was a long shot outside the three-point line, a dunk that broke through the inside, or a clever pass to assist his teammates in scoring. The hot state is pure and dimensional reduction strike. His 26-point performance fully proves his strength as a top star. However, when the game was lost, an accident suddenly came. In a fierce confrontation, Doncic covered his knees in pain, showing an unbearable look on his face, and eventually had to leave early. This sudden situation instantly made the atmosphere on the scene tense, and the fans were sweating for his injuries. Regarding the emergencies, the team doctor quickly conducted a careful examination of Luka Doncic and was diagnosed with a contusion of the right knee. Although the injury assessment results show that it is not serious, it should not be taken lightly. You should know that Luca was decisively given up by Dallas because of his weight. He was ashamed and brave as he became brave, so he made an important decision this offseason - to lose weight. The purpose of this move is to reduce the risk of injury. After successfully reducing 14 kg, a lighter weight will reduce knee injuries at the medical level.

However, the incident of Luca's injury profoundly reveals a cruel reality: even if the player himself and the training team have taken all kinds of preventive measures, such as scientific weight loss, intensive training, and full warm-up, the haze of the injury is still difficult to completely dispel. Especially in the fierce competition and physical confrontation is like a storm, injuries are like ghosts hiding in the dark, and may quietly come at any time. Despite the false alarm, it still sounded the alarm for the Los Angeles Lakers management who were far away in the United States. When the two sides reached a three-year early contract renewal contract worth $165 million in the offseason, General Manager Pelinka, former boss Jenny Buss and new boss Mark Walter all regarded him as the leader in the post-James era, so his every move was concerned about the entire business league.

At present, the Lakers medical team has attached great importance to Doncic's injury and quickly intervened in the tracking of his injury. They will closely monitor Doncic's recovery and develop a scientific and reasonable rehabilitation plan. It is expected that his playing time in the remaining European Cup warm-up matches will be reasonably adjusted to ensure that he can recover from health as soon as possible and lead the team to the new season. After all, in the new contract, both parties have clearly included the attendance guarantee clause. This move is mainly to safeguard the interests of the team and ensure the stability of the game performance. If Doncic plays less than 65 games in the regular season in a single season, then some of his salary will be converted to a non-guaranteed state.

This means that once Doncic is trapped by force majeure factors such as injuries and cannot reach the appearance standards stipulated in the contract, the Lakers will definitely make corresponding adjustments in terms of salary payments based on the terms of the contract. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Lakers management has no right to interfere. According to the FIBA event arrangements, NBA teams cannot effectively control and manage key elements such as players' participation status, training intensity, and competition environment in international events. This is like putting players in a turbulent sea. They can only deal with emergencies that may occur at any time by relying on their own abilities and will.
