Dončič returned to the WiZink Center hall following five years and received a stormy welcome. The packed auditorium watched a video dedicated to the Slovenian star, and the player’s speech in Spanish received huge applause. Apart from the agreed opening five minutes, Dončič then sat the game on the bench due to an injury from training.
Dončič worked for Real from the age of 13, played for them for four seasons and won three Spanish titles. He ended his engagement there in 2018 with a triumph in the Europa League, and at the age of 19, he also won the MVP award for the most valuable player of the Euroleague and the final tournament, as the youngest basketball player in the history of the competition. The year following that, he was already named the best rookie in the NBA.
The Dallas team moved to Madrid from Abu Dhabi, where they lost twice to Minnesota in the past few days. Czech international Vít Krejčí played in the Timberwolves’ jersey on Saturday and scored four points. In these duels, Dončič played a total of 36 minutes and scored 43 points.
