Domantas Sabonis was no doubt upset about his Lithuanian national team coming up short in their bid to play in the Tokyo Olympics later this summer. Slovenia, led by Luka Doncic rolled past Lithuania 96-85 as Doncic asserted his will as the best player on the floor to earn the win in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
Of course, it doesn’t take long to find a silver lining for Pacers fans considering Sabonis went from a demanding NBA season straight to international play. Time off. Rest. Recovery. These are all good things and certainly something Sabonis earned after the heavy minutes he delivered over the compact NBA season.
