Luka Doncic Suffers Hamstring Injury

According to multiple reports, Luka Doncic has a sore hamstring after landing awkwardly on the alley-oop to Daniel Gafford.

When the 25-year-old had a look of pain on his face as soon as he landed, he didn’t return to the game after checking himself out during a timeout break.

The Dallas Mavericks are set to finish a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, there is uncertainty about how Doncic will play. Head coach Jason Kidd has confirmed the uncertainty.

“We’ll have a better answer [Thursday],” Kidd said. “This is a fluid thing. This thing is being talked about now.”

Per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, after his teammates left the arena, Doncic was still there receiving treatment.

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.
