Top Luka Doncic News

  • Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Out at least one month

    Doncic will be re-evaluated in one month after he sustained a left calf strain in Wednesday's 105-99 loss to the Timberwolves, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Doncic has a long history of injuries to his left leg, including to his calf. He missed time in training camp and the preseason due to a left calf contusion, and he had already sat out eight games during the regular season due to a right knee contusion, a right wrist sprain and a left heel contusion before straining his left calf Wednesday. The Mavericks will hope that some extended down time to recover from his latest injury will be beneficial for his long-term health, and given that Doncic is merely expected to be re-evaluated in one month, it may not be until February that he returns to game action. While Doncic is sidelined, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson will likely see slight upticks in usage, while players such as Quentin Grimes, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy will all be candidates to move into increased roles as tertiary options on offense.

  • Mavericks' Luka Doncic: May miss extended time

    The Mavericks are bracing for Doncic to miss an extended period after being diagnosed with a left calf strain Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Doncic posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes before leaving Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves after aggravating a lingering calf injury. The MVP candidate has dealt with multiple lower-body injuries dating back to the Mavericks' surprise run to the NBA Finals last season. While Doncic has been able to play through minor injuries in his career, Dallas will presumably be extremely cautious with him moving forward. In Doncic's absence, Quentin Grimes, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy are candidates for increased roles.

  • Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Officially ruled out

    Doncic will not return to Wednesday's Christmas Day contest due to a left calf strain, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

    Doncic will presumably have follow-up tests to determine the severity of the injury. Doncic has dealt with five separate incidents of lower body injuries since training camp, which adds up to be taxing from a muscular compensation standpoint on his kinetic chain. He was ruled out mere minutes after suffering the aggravation, which will thrust Spencer Dinwiddie into a higher-usage role for Dallas.

  • Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Limps to locker room

    Doncic (heel/calf) exited Wednesday's contest versus Minnesota due to an apparent heel injury in the final minutes of the second quarter. His status to return is unclear.

    Doncic entered Wednesday's contest dealing with a left heel contusion, and he had a non-contact aggravation of the same region while attempting to drive on Jaden McDaniels. While Doncic had no abnormal extension or force applied, the simple nature in which his injury occurred is similarly concerning.

  • Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Will play Wednesday

    Doncic (heel) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    As expected, Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up on Christmas Day. After missing two games with a left heel contusion, Doncic returned to action Monday and posted 27 points (10-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 30 minutes during a blowout win over the Trail Blazers.

Though Doncic may not be 100 percent recovered from the heel injury, the Mavericks are planning on him being available for the Christmas Day game.
