Real Madrid star guard-forward Luka Doncic is still playing coy about his potential NBA future, but he dropped another hint Sunday indicating that he’s played his last game in Europe.
Doncic led Real to a EuroLeague title with a win over Fenerbahce Dogus Istanbul, and he was awarded EuroLeague Final Four MVP. While he again stated that no definitive decision had been made on his future, he hinted that he’d played his last game for Real, with a title-winning performance the perfect way to sign off.

It’s the second time in three days that Doncic made it sound like he planned to enter the NBA Draft, where he’ll likely be a candidate to go first overall. It would be a surprise at this point if the 19-year-old didn’t make the jump.
