Despite Pain Injections, Luka Doncic Will Play In Game 3

Luka Doncic is definitely feeling the effects of a longer season, with his back, ankle, and knee causing him a substantial amount of pain. It caused so much pain on the injury report, that he was listed as questionable.

While he did play in Game 2, he was noticeably in pain and was given pain injections to help numb the areas. Specifically the area concerning his thoracic contusion. ESPN’s Tim MacMahon and Malika Andrews confirmed this.

“I feel good,” said Doncic on Tuesday. “I don’t want to give any more details, but I feel good.”

The mindset is Doncic playing in Game 3, plus the medical staff giving him another pain injection before Dallas’s home stand.

Luka Doncic Spent His All-Star Break Away From Basketball

How did Luka Doncic spend his All-Star break? According to the man himself, he got away from basketball and focused his mind on anything that wasn’t NBA-related.

While he was “excited to get back to playing,” the superstar player wanted time away after being traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers.

“Honestly, I was getting my mind off basketball a little bit,” Doncic said Wednesday. “But, I’m just excited to come back and play. I missed a lot of time. I’ve never missed this much time. So, it’s something new to me. But I was just excited to get back to playing.”

This is the second time in his career he wasn’t made an All-Star. The first being his rookie season and the second being the current season.

Since joining LeBron James and Los Angeles, the 25-year-old is averaging 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.3 assists.

Doncic missed Thursday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets due to the calf injury, but is expected to play in Saturday’s game against the Denver Nuggets.

Mark Cuban Told Nico Harrison Not To Trade Luka Doncic

According to Marc Stein, the former Dallas Mavericks owner told general manager Nico Harrison not to trade Luka Doncic.

Mark Cuban “urged” Harrison not to ship Doncic to Los Angeles for Anthony Davis. He’s always been pro-Doncic, going as far as to joke that he would divorce his wife first before getting rid of Doncic.

However, it was too late when the 66-year-old found out about the deal. It was already verbally agreed upon with the Lakers’ general manager, Rob Pelinka.

Cuban’s plan for Doncic was for him to be like Dirk Nowitzki, where he spent his entire career with Dallas.
