Luka Doncic takes responsibility for Slovenia’s advance from Poland to the quarter-finals EuroBasket. The European champions lost 90-87 to the team of Igor Milicic, which was one of the biggest defeats of the tournament.

Luka Doncic scored a career-high 14 points and was sent off for five fouls with three minutes remaining. The NBA superstar took credit for his team’s relegation.

“Congratulations to Poland, they put on an incredible match throughout the match. For them, this is a great achievement. We didn’t enter the game the way we wanted to, we’re back, but the Poles fought hard and deserve congratulations.

I am here to represent my country. When I am healthy, I will play for Slovenia. I don’t know what to tell you, I’m not 100%, I shot before the third period. I had a lot of problems, but I played badly, I betrayed my country and I take responsibility for the failure. I’m Luka and I have to be better.

Poland has a great team, as does Belgium. We all had favorites, but at this EuroBasket you all saw that there are many great teams. This event is different. I was not surprised by Ponitka’s performance, he is an excellent basketball player, maybe he is of the NBA level, although I am not a grandmaster and not a team factor, ”commented Luka Doncic.
