Community Spotlight Award: Luka Dončić Recognized For Off-Season Community Work

The NBA Cares Community Assist Award is one the highest off-court honors any NBA player can receive. Each team selects their most charitable player for the month to earn a nomination and then a league committee chooses the player who best reflects the passion that the NBA and its players share for giving back to their communities.

Now entering this fourth NBA season, Donu010diu0107 was selected because of his tremendous work in the community and ability to unite a global audience through the game of basketball.

This summer, he represented his country at the Tokyo Olympics and then stayed home to refurbish two basketball courts in his hometown of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
