The Dallas Mavericks have four players taking part in the Olympic Qualifying tournaments across the globe. Luka Doncic led Slovenia to wins in both their pool games. Mavericks’ players won all seven of their contests so far.
The competition progresses to the knockout phase this weekend. Luka, Boban Marjanovic (Serbia), Dwight Powell (Canada), and Nicolo Melli (Italy) each need to help their nation win two straight games to advance to the Olympics in Tokyo. All four teams play on Saturday with the winners advancing to Sunday’s finals.
