Drca Catching Up After Injury
Luka Drca said he's "perfectly fine" now, but that doesn't mean that the whole summer that he'd hoped to spend improving his game with some international experience wasn't ruined.
The junior guard said he tore the quadriceps muscle in his thigh when he was hit there during a practice game in advance of the third annual Friendship Games -- the tournament in Israel in which Drca was supposed to participate in early June, with a team of college players from his native Serbia.
"I was in bed for almost two months," Drca said.
Drca spent that time at home in Belgrade, and said he has only been back on his feet at full strength for the past two months or so. So instead of being able to "work as hard as I could" over the summer and coming back to school in prime condition, Drca has found himself working to catch up on his fitness.
"Now I still have time to improve my skills before the season starts," he said.
