Luka Brajković (born 26 June 1999) is a Serbian-Austrian professional basketball player for Pallacanestro Trieste of the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA). He played college basketball for the Davidson Wildcats.
Early career Brajković 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. Brajković considered moving to Germany following the season, but it did not occur. In March 2018, he committed to playing college basketball for Davidson over offers from Stanford, Purdue and Penn State. He chose the Wildcats in part because head coach Bob McKillop travelled to Austria twice to recruit him.
College career Coming into his freshman season, Brajković helped replace the scoring of the departed Peyton Aldridge at Davidson. As a freshman, Brajković averaged 11.1 points and six rebounds per game. He had to adjust to the faster speed of the American college game, including changing his passing motion. He averaged 10.3 points and five rebounds per game as a sophomore. As a junior, Brajković averaged 10.9 points and six rebounds per game. Over the summer, he trained in Serbia against professional players. On 5 February 2022, Brajković scored a career-high 30 points as well as eight rebounds in a 78–73 win over George Washington.
