Christmas 2024 will not remain a good memory for the Mavs. Already for the defeat against Minnesota. But mainly because of the injury Luka Doncichit in the left calf in the first period. The star had not finished the game and the franchise was worried and already prepared to lose its best player for a while…
Dallas was right because Shams Charania of ESPN indicates that Luka Doncic will be absent for at least a month! He will therefore miss around fifteen matches and, as he has already missed eight matches, will therefore no longer be able to aim for individual trophies and awards…
There is no doubt that the Mavericks will be very patient because this is not the first time that the Slovenian has been bothered by his calf. It has already been in 2022 then again in 2023 and even recently, in October.
While waiting for the end of January and his return, Jason Kidd's men will have to hold on. This season, the Texans, who currently occupy fourth place in the Western Conference with 19 victories for 11 defeats, have played eight matches without Luka Doncic and have negotiated these moments very well with 6 victories for 2 defeats.
