Luka Brajkovic

Luka Brajkovic (; born 26 June 1999) is an Austrian professional basketball player for Cedevita Olimpija of the Slovenian Basketball League and the ABA League. He played college basketball for the Davidson Wildcats.

Early career Brajkovic joined the Dornbirn Lions of the Basketball Zweite Liga in 2015 and did not earn a salary to preserve collegiate eligibility. During the 2016–17 season, he averaged 14.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game. Brajkovic considered moving to Germany following the season, but it did not occur.
