Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic is set to miss his team’s upcoming game on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a right knee contusion. Doncic, who has been visibly limping during parts of the Mavericks’ recent games, is taking time to recover from the injury.
This marks the first time Doncic will miss a regular-season game this year, a significant development for the Mavericks, who have been working to stabilize their roster.
The team recently welcomed back P.J. Washington and Maxi Kleber, which had sparked hope for a nearly fully healthy lineup for the first time this season.
However, Doncic’s absence adds another obstacle for Dallas as they aim to climb the standings in a competitive Western Conference. Currently, the Mavericks hold a 6-7 record, placing them in the 10th spot in the conference.
Doncic’s absence will undoubtedly be a challenge for the Mavericks, as the team relies heavily on his playmaking and scoring to drive their success.
