Luka Doncic is set to be sidelined for at least one month due to a left calf strain, according to sources who spoke with Shams Charania of ESPN.
The injury occurred during the Dallas Mavericks’ Christmas Day game, and Doncic underwent an MRI and sought multiple medical opinions on Thursday to confirm the extent of the damage.
This injury is particularly concerning as it involves the same calf that the player had a contusion on earlier in the season, raising questions about the potential long-term effects.
The Mavs will now have to cope without their star player for an extended period, which could impact their overall performance.
The Slovenian sensation has been putting up stellar numbers this season, averaging 28.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 8.1 assists over 21 games.
His all-around production has been a major factor in the Mavericks’ success so far, making his absence a significant blow to the team.
As the Mavs look to adjust in his absence, it will be crucial for other players to step up and fill the void left by their franchise player.
