Luka Doncic is playing for the NBA title with the final series between their Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics starting on Thursday. Meanwhile, his name is on coach Aleksander Sekulic's preliminary roster list for the Pre-Olympic, scheduled for July 2-7. Despite rumors in recent months, the passported player on the team remains long Mike Tobey, this season at Crvena zvezda. Slovenia, as a reminder, will play in the tournament in Piraeus, Greece: in Group A they will face Croatia and New Zealand, and in the next phase they will cross Group B with Egypt, Dominican Republic and especially Giannis Antetokounmpo's Greece. 

Slovenia's preliminary roster: Jaka Blazic, Miha Cerkvenik, Vlatko Cancar, Ziga Dimec, Luka Doncic, Zoran Dragic, Gregor Hrovat, Aleksej Nikolic, Tibor Mirtic, Edo Muric, Bine Prepelic, Klemen Prepelic, Leon Stergar, Luka Scuka, Jan Span, Mike Tobey. Absent is Goran Dragic, who announced in December his decision to quit playing basketball.
