For most players, that would mean a vacation, but not for Dončič, the NBA star has officially confirmed that he will join the Slovenian team in the coming days and arrive in Kaunas, where he will fight for the entrance to the Olympic Games in Tokyo

“This is my next goal: to take Slovenia to the Olympics. I will return to my homeland and continue training, so I will not have a vacation,” the Mavs star said at a press conference after the season.

Slovenia compiled impressive statistics in the NBA quarterfinals: 35 points each and 10 assists.

Slovenia joined the group together with Angolan and Polish basketball players. At that time, Lithuania will compete with South Korea and Venezuela.

If both Lithuania and Slovenia triumph in the group stage, the paths of these two teams are likely to be shaped in the fight for the Olympics.

The Olympic qualifying tournament in Kaunas will be held from June 29 to July 4.
