Sasha Vujacic Talks

Laker Sasha Vuajacic was let go from the Slovian National Team just ahead of September’s EuroBasket and released an official statement about what happened, hinting at the “politics and hidden agenda” of his country’s national program, on Friday (August 28). Apparently the issue stems from Vujacic’s left knee injury, which he incurred on the second day of practice, and the quality of treatement he received from the Slovian National Team’s coaching and training staff subsequently. Sasha was likely concerned about risking his health for his overall career and the upcoming Lakers season.

Lakersblog.com revealed an excerpt from Vujacic’s statement: “…Coach Zdovc was asking me on a daily basis how I felt and I told him that I was feeling better and better! We came back to Slovenia and I went to Maribor (my hometown) to spend the two days before the next team meeting. I trained on my days off! I was feeling strong and ready to shine in my home town…”
