Luka Doncic's Frightening Awakening: North Korea's Missile Scare in Okinawa

Just days before the commencement of the FIBA World Cup, NBA stars and international basketball luminaries found themselves awakened by an emergency bomb alarm in the early hours of the morning. One of the most notable figures among these stars is Luka Doncic, the 4-time NBA All-Star, who is currently in Japan representing the Slovenian national team. He is joined by seven other national teams as they prepare for their opening matches scheduled for the upcoming week.

Following the alarming incident, the FIBA organizing committee issued a statement the morning after, addressing the situation, in which they said;


The "J-alert System" is regularly used in Japan to warn people to move to safety in the case of immediate dangers such as severe weather warnings and other events. Along with Luka Doncic several other NBA stars also faced the same awakening in the middle of the night as players such as Lauri Markkanen, Patty Mills and Dennis Schroder are also in Okinawa this week with their respective national teams.
