A report out of Slovenia supposedly quoting Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic’s mom as saying the Mavs guard had “another scan” on his ankle and will be out longer is not accurate, according to Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News.
Doncic suffered a moderate right ankle sprain this past Saturday against the Miami Heat. X-rays on Doncic’s ankle returned negative.
I’m told that a report out of Slovenia supposedly quoting Doncic’s mom as saying he had “another scan” and will be out longer are not accurate. Maybe something got lost or misunderstood in translation.

Dallas will obviously be cautious with Doncic moving forward since he’s the new franchise player. He has appeared in 25 games this season for the Mavs, averaging 29.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 8.9 assists while shooting 48.1 percent from the field, 32.6 percent from beyond the arc and 80.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Luka has 16 double-doubles and eight triple-doubles on the season. The floor general, despite being only 20-years-old, is already one of the best players in the NBA and in the MVP conversation.
The Mavs are 18-8 on the season, good for third in the tough Western Conference. Kristaps Porzingis will have to carry the load on offense while Doncic is out. KP is putting up 17.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in his first season with Dallas.
Basketball fans everywhere are just happy Doncic didn’t suffer a serious or season-ending injury. After all, Doncic is one of the most fun players to watch in the NBA today.
