According to the Dallas Mavericks, superstar player Luka Doncic has suffered a right wrist sprain and will be out for at least a week.

An MRI has confirmed this diagnosis and will be reevaluated in one week. The injury occurred during Tuesday’s game against the New Orlean Pelicans.

Doncic is averaging 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.6 assists in 14 games this season.

According to Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks are hiring the former head coach of the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana Pacers, and Orlando Magic as a coaching consultant.

When coaching Los Angeles, Frank Vogel had Jason Kidd on his coaching staff in 2020 when the Lakers won the championship. The roles are reversed now, and the Mavericks hope to win the Finals soon.

Kidd is very happy that Vogel decided to join the Mavericks. He said it took some convincing after Phoenix fired him.

“It took a lot of begging, but he was talked into it, and I’m happy he said yes,” said Kidd.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks franchise superstar has suffered another left calf strain; this time in training camp.

Luka Doncic’s contusion in the left calf will be reevaluated in at least one week. Head coach Jason Kidd says Dallas is not worried about this injury. They believe he will be ready by the start of the regular season.

Doncic has a history of left calf strains, most notably in the 2023 preseason and during the 2022 playoffs.
