This isn't fair but man I am having a hard time not being pissed at Luka. Again, not fair. We ask him to do so much. Last year was a grueling year and he deserved to get a way from the game. Although, in his first game here, I knew right away there was no way he was not going to get injured how he was moving. Now, maybe this all goes back to getting hurt in training camp. Luka keeps a lot secret, so maybe he was in fine shape before the injury. I just have a feeling he wasn't. Luka needs to take his fitness as a full year job...even if he takes breaks from basketball. His body type is not like a lot of NBA players. Also, his in season condition needs to be taken seriously.
Again, maybe I am just letting frustration get the best of me. Although, Luka is in his prime but I feel like we haven't seen peak Luka (shape and health) much the last few years. It is a tad concerning.
It could very well be that he is past his physical prime. He‘s playing professionally for over a decade, so it’s not like he doesn’t have experience and just started playing in a pro basketball setting.
