Perhaps the good thing about the long hiatus brought about by the coronavirus pandemic is that Luka Doncic's injured hand has fully healed according to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

Speaking with ESPN's Frank Isola on SiriuxXM NBA Radio, Cuban shared the good news.

To recall, Luka Doncic injured his left thumb in the Mavs' 109-103 victory against the San Antonio Spurs in late February. He left in the first quarter of the game to have it taped up then came back right away. The Slovenian revealed that his thumb got slapped twice but the referees thought that the defenders hit all ball.

Though he finished their game against the Spurs, the injury bothered Doncic in the next games. After their 126-118 loss to the Miami Heat, Doncic admitted how difficult it was to play with an injured thumb.

“I didn't know how important the thumb was to hold the ball,” he told reporters after the game, per Tyler Conway of Bleacher Report. “It was tough. … I wasn't myself today. Just have to learn from that and move on.”

The Mavs wisely let Doncic sit out several games for the thumb to heal. But fast forward to March 11, the NBA had to suspend the 2019-20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mavs were one of the last teams to play.

For the past few weeks, the NBA has been in constant discussion on the possible resumption of the season. Disney World in Orlando is the highly-favored bubble location which will hold closed-door games as well as house players and their family.
