Luka Doncic, a prominent player for the Dallas Mavericks, will be out for a minimum of one week following a left calf contusion sustained during team practice sessions. The Mavericks reported on Wednesday that Doncic will undergo another evaluation in a week. This injury will prevent him from playing in the team’s first preseason game against the Memphis Grizzlies on October 7.

Mavs Hope for Quick Recovery

The Mavericks will keep a close watch on Doncic’s progress, anticipating his readiness for the beginning of the regular season. The 25-year-old player is crucial for Dallas’ achievements, and they will require him to be in good health for the upcoming challenging season.

Doncic’s Dominant 2023-24 Season

Luka Doncic had an impressive season, with an average of 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game. In addition, he averaged 1.4 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.7% overall and 38.2% from three-point range. His outstanding performance resulted in him being selected for the All-NBA First Team and helped guide the Mavericks to the 2024 NBA Finals.

Looking Ahead

The Mavericks are positive about Doncic coming back, but they will focus on his overall well-being as they aim for another successful playoff run. As the regular season nears, the focus will be on how quickly he recovers.
