Luka Dončić says he will not play for the Slovenia men’s national team this summer, citing a desire to spend time with his two daughters amid an ongoing custody battle. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Dončić links his decision to the time demands created by the dispute with his ex-fianceé, and he frames the choice as a priority to be with his children rather than taking part in international competition. The reporting characterizes the custody case as ongoing, and notes that Dončić’s plan is to use the summer period primarily for family time. The statements do not change his status as an NBA player for the Los Angeles Lakers, but they do affect Slovenia’s selection plans for upcoming events in the summer window. Both sources describe the decision as voluntary and centered on personal circumstances rather than injury or team-related reasons.
