Luka Doncic headlines the top basketball stars competing at the 2023 FIBA World Cup beginning 25 August to 10 September, co-hosted by the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia.

The 24-year-old Slovenian sensation comes to the tournament widely regarded as its best player, thanks to the formidable reputation he has forged in the international arena.

Since his senior debut in 2016, then just 17 years old, Doncic has been instrumental in his country’s recent basketball successes.

From being a central figure in the Slovenian side that won a historic EuroBasket title in 2017 to then spearheading the team's remarkable Olympic campaign at Tokyo 2020, in 2021 that concluded with a fourth-place finish, few players step up in their national jersey the way Doncic does.

With Vlatko Cancar and Edo Muric out for Slovenia, their ambition to win their first World Cup title may have taken a hit but with the Mavericks stars on fire, no one dares to count out the European team.
