Luka Doncic, injured in the last game of the regular season, could miss part of the playoffs, putting his team’s chances in serious jeopardy. We just got news from the Slovenian, and so much to say that it is worrying for the future. It’s actually a photo that doesn’t really help the situation.
Initially suspended for the final game against the Blazers, blamed for a 16th technical foul, Luka Doncic eventually kept his place against the Portland franchise. The reason ?

A few hours later, the Mavs shared some of the results on Doncic, confirming a sprained calf. The special feature? The franchise declined to give a return date, ahead of Game 1 against the Jazz next Saturday:
Dallas has already announced that Luka Dončić has a left calf strain and will not be required to publicly share details about today’s MRI findings five days before Game 1. So the wait for clarity on Luka’s status for Saturday’s Game 1 against a visit to Utah is likely to continue.

Luka Doncic is well injured for the game against Utah, which will be of the utmost importance for the future. Even in the event of a return, will the player be 100%? We can strongly doubt it. Response within a week.
