Luka Doncic injury update: Mavericks star suffers calf strain in final regular season game against Tottenham

The Dallas Mavericks She entered Sunday with little chance of earning the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. with a win over San Antonio Spurs and a loss from Golden State Warriors against the New Orleans Pelicans, they would have caught it. They did their turn on Sunday by beating Spurs, but may have just paid a heavy price in the process.

With the Mavericks turning 18, he has become a star keeper Luka Doncic He drove to the basket and hit his knees with the huge Tottenham man Zach Collins. Doncic immediately pointed out that he was in pain and demanded a time-out. He left the match from there and the Mavericks almost immediately knocked him out with what they call a strained left calf.

The defectors are It is said optimistic Doncic was not seriously injured. Fortunately, Doncic will have approximately a week to recover as the Mavericks will not be participating in the play round. Dallas, seeded No. 4 after Golden State’s win on Sunday, will face the fifth seed Utah Jazz in the first round. This series will not start before Saturday.

At first Doncic was not supposed to play in this game. He made his 16th technical foul in his last game, which resulted in an automatic suspension for the end of the season. However, this technical bug was later canceled. This allowed Doncic to play, but if he can do it again, he will probably stop playing.

If the past two seasons are any indication, Dallas needs Doncic at his absolute best if he’s planning to tour. He has starred in consecutive series against Los Angeles Clippers, but his teammates failed to adequately support him in the streak that the Mavericks eventually lost. If Doncic can’t carry the Mavericks on his back again in this playoff, perhaps their promising season was all for nothing.
