NBA – For his first “back-to-back” in three months, the Slovenian came out injured, but his MRI taken during the day revealed nothing serious.
Luckily for the Mavs, ESPN reports that the Slovenian’s MRI, programmed by the staff and taken during the day, revealed nothing serious. So don’t worry, and he will return to competition as soon as he no longer feels any pain.
However, it had been several matches that Luka Doncic was not at his best and we sometimes saw him walking, even limping. Against New Orleans, the staff had strapped him downright but the problem is that he aggravated his injury!
“It doesn’t smell good”, he first admitted at a press conference. “I think I did that to myself in the second game after the All-Star Game, something like that…”
In fact, it was when he woke up, after a big victory against Spurs, that Luka Doncic felt a spike in his thigh.
« Usually it’s after a hit, but I don’t think I’ve ever felt that. This time I didn’t take a hit, so that’s kind of weird for me. I don’t really know what it is. »
Did Dallas shoot his player too much?
On the side of Dallas, we hoped afterwards that it was only an alert and that rest would be enough. The MRI proved them right…
“I think we all saw that he was moving badly”confirmed his coach, Jason Kidd. “Whether it’s shooting or defending, it impacts everything. He tried to make do with it to help his teammates, but he had to leave the field. We hope it’s not serious. We have a few days ahead of us before playing Memphis, and we hope he will be back soon. »
The mistake of the Mavericks is perhaps to have played Luka Doncic last night against the Pelicans. It was a “back-to-back” and the Slovenian was already complaining about his thigh…
Moreover, it was his first “back-to-back” in three months and there was a reason he had been exempt since the beginning of December.
