Prime-time Luka? It’s a welcomed rarity in his home country

If Luka Donu010diu0107 had his way, the Mavericks would play more games like Sunday’s against Sacramento.

Not just because it was a victory, although he’d sign off on that, too.

But mostly, he was thrilled that it was a 2:30 p.m. tipoff, Dallas time. That meant that his countrymen and women back in Slovenia could watch it in prime time, starting at 9:30 in Lujbljana, Slovenia.

“I think this is amazing,” Donu010diu0107 said. “Every time we play an early game, it’s the best for me. I really appreciate it. I think the NBA can do more of this on game days.
