Suns' Dario Saric Impressing in EuroBasket

Phoenix Suns Dario Saric had a few questions surrounding his health after missing the entire 2021-22 season.

Many wondered how the ACL he tore in the 2021 NBA Finals would hold, while the meniscus surgery obtained late last season was just another concern for how he may hold moving forward.

It's still early, but Saric has hushed a few of those concerns for the Croatian national basketball team during EuroBasket.

His first game against Greece didn't look so hot.

Croatia comes up short against Greece, 89-85.

-Dario Saric: 0 points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3P), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 TOs in 20 minutes
-Bojan Bogdanovic: 19 points (8-15 FG), 7 rebounds
-Giannis Antetokounmpo: 27-11-6 (9-24 FG)

However, Saric was able to bounce back quite nicely over Great Britain:

Dario Saric had 15 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and a block in Croatia’s 21-point win over Great Britain. Saric was +35 (!) in 27 minutes and had a much better outing today after the opening loss to Greece.

On Monday, Saric continued his good form by once again stuffing the stat sheet in a Croatia win.

Dario Saric had 15 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in 32 minutes in Croatia’s 73-70 win over Estonia today. Shot 4-for-11 overall and 2-for-4 from 3.

Saric, to this point, looks like healthy and ready to roll for Phoenix's upcoming training camp.

Saric and the rest of the Croatian national team will take on Italy tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 6) before battling Ukraine on Thursday, Sept. 8.
