Luka Doncic helps save young Slovenian’s life

Perhaps lost in the shuffle of holiday plans and roster changes was a story last week from ESPN on a life-saving act of kindness from Luka Doncic.

As told in ESPN’s video Kris Zuditch, a young boy from Slovenia fighting for his life after an early diagnosis of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, was in need of breakthrough treatment with only months remaining in his eligibility. One major obstacle was the cost: over $2 million for an infusion that could save his life.

As Zuditch’s parents tried to find ways to raise the steep amount word made its way to Doncic, who was in his second season with the Mavericks.
