Hit in the ankle, Luka Doncic has already missed the last games of the Mavericks. His absence will obviously be prolonged, since the Slovenian was still hurt in training. To be followed closely.
A surprise team at the start of the season, the Mavericks started out strong. Luka Doncic quickly found his cruising speed, while Kristaps Porzingis had some good matches. You add a solid bench that gets the job done, and the Texas franchise had a good track record. Unfortunately for them, things have been getting more complicated in recent days.
Sunday night, she experienced another loss against the Clippers, bringing their record to 9 wins for 7 losses. It’s not as impressive as it used to be, especially as Doncic is injured. The latter hurt his ankle, and has already missed two games. The problem is that this number is expected to increase.
New injury for Luka Doncic?
As we said, the Slovenian injured his ankle recently. A trivial problem, but one that continues today. As journalist Callie Caplan reports, Luka hurt himself in training on Monday, this time in the knee. The moment is not filmed, but we have a few details.

A few mins after this video, Luka slammed the bleachers, shouted in pain.
Didn’t see what happen bc reporters were talking to Jason Kidd, but Luka left practice with ice bandaged around his left knee.
Just as this happened, Kidd said Luka is “questionable” tomorrow.

A few minutes after the video, Luka hit the stands screaming in pain. I didn’t see what happened, as the media was talking to Jason Kidd, but Luka left training with ice in his left knee.
No exact details of what happened, but there is a strong doubt that Luka will play the next Mavs game. The ankle, then the knee? This is obviously not a good sign. We should have some news from the Slovenian soon, hoping it doesn’t matter.
Again affected in training, Luka Doncic may have to be absent for a few games. Even if the defeats are linked, priority to health, especially in the regular season. We should know more shortly.
