Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic is hoping that he dodged a bullet. Luka went down with what looked like a twisted ankle. The worry was that Doncic could have hurt his Achilles or something near there and miss an extended period of time.
Callie Caplin of Dallas News reported that Jason Kidd had this to say postgame:
“Luka walked off on his own power. I think he got rolled up on on his lower left leg, so we'll see how he feels tomorrow.”
The Mavericks are hoping that this is just something as simple as a twisted ankle and it will only keep Doncic away from the Mavericks for a short amount of time. They were able to take down the Denver Nuggets in the contest as the Mavericks won, 111-101. Doncic was able to come away with 23 points in the 38 minutes that he played.
Dallas is having an impressive season underneath new head coach Jason Kidd. They are 9-4 on the year. Doncic on the season is averaging 25.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists.
Luka is a top-five player in the NBA. Losing him for an extended period of time would severely hurt the Mavericks. Doncic will be further evaluated within the next few days and there will be more updates on his diagnosis. Right now, the Mavericks are thinking that they dodged a bullet and he will only be away for a few games.
The Mavericks will take on the 10-3 Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.
