On 6 August 2019, Prepelič was loaned to Club Joventut Badalona for the 2019–20 season.[19] In May he had been informed by Real Madrid that Jaycee Carroll would play another season at the club, after he changed his mind about retiring, and therefore advised to "look for other options." Prepelič stated that if someone had asked him, in May, whether he would return to Real Madrid, he would've said yes, since he wanted another shot at the club.[20] In the end, however, his move to Joventut proved very beneficial for his career. He had an extremely positive season at Joventut. Prepelič played 15 games in the 2019–20 EuroCup Basketball, averaging 17 points, 4 assists and 2.3 rebounds. In 27 games in the 2019–20 ACB season he averaged 22.5 points, 3 assists and 1.7 rebounds.

Then, a minute and a half before the end he intercepted a ball before sending Tobey an alley-hoop which he dunked to close the game.[64] With 13 seconds left to play he gave Slovenia a 3-point advantage by scoring two free throws.[65][66][67][68] He, Tobey and Dragić were especially praised for their performances against Germany in the quarterfinal.[69][70][71][72][73] He scored 9 points, all in the decisive fourth-period run,[74] when Slovenia placed a final boost.[75] Prepelič and Dončić gave the final blow to Germany, putting an advantage of 19 points.[76][77] He scored one three-pointer, then attempted two more times from behind the line and scored both times.[78]

Slovenia lost a dramatic semifinal to France by one point. The game seemed over for Slovenia, with France ahead 90–85 and less than a minute left to play. However, Slovenia "battled back behind Prepelic,"[79] who in a few seconds managed to score four points, bringing Slovenia just one point of France, 90–89:[80] Dončić entrusted the ball to Prepelič at 35 seconds from the end, and he sunk a clutch three-pointer.[81] After De Colo missed a layup, [82][83] Dončić again renounced to shoot, and turned the clutch shoot over to Prepelič, who attempted a layup but was blocked by Nicolas Batum.[84][85] After the game, Rudy Gobert stated that Batum's save was "one of the best blocks he had ever seen."[86] Against France, Prepelič was one of Slovenia's best with Tobey and Dončić.[87] He scored 18 points and 2 assists against Australia, in the bronze medal game, and approached double-double with 7 rebounds. He was Slovenia's top performer in that game.[88] After entering the game towards the end of the first quarter, Prepelič turned it around for Slovenia with a go-ahead three-pointer.[89][90] In the 3rd quarter he brought Slovenia within 60–66 with 3:30 left in the period, converting a four-point play.[91][92] Prepelič scored 4 more points, and with a layup brought the score to 75–81 just before Australia's time-out, provoking an ovation from the Slovenian bench. He then scored another three-pointer; Slovenia managed to reach 80–83, but eventually lost 93–107.[93]

With 15 points per game he was the 12th scoring leader of the men's basketball tournament heading into the finals, eventually raising it to 15.5 pts after playing Australia. He also averaged 3.33 rebounds, and with 2.7 assists was Slovenia's second assists leader.[94][95]
