The Dallas Mavericks are facing another preseason setback as superstar Luka Doncic has sustained a calf injury during practice. The news was announced by the team, who also revealed that Doncic will be re-evaluated in a week. The Mavericks are currently in Las Vegas for training camp, but it remains unclear if Doncic is with the team or stayed in Dallas.
This injury adds another layer of concern for the Mavericks, who are already dealing with Kyrie Irving’s thumb injury, which occurred during his offseason workout. Irving sustained the injury following the team’s five-game loss to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. While Irving has resumed basketball activities since September, his thumb injury continues to be a factor for the team.
The Mavericks will be hoping for a swift recovery for Doncic, as his presence is crucial for their success in the upcoming season. His injury adds another layer of complexity to the team’s preseason preparation, leaving fans anxiously awaiting updates on his condition.
