The Mavericks have ruled out Luka Doncic for tonight’s game against the Clippers due to a left heel contusion. The Slovenian, who has just finished his best performance against the Warriors, will therefore have to take the night off and watch the duel from a distance, thus avoiding putting at risk an area that could be problematic if it is not rehabilitated correctly.
Luka has already missed the last two training sessions, and it is unclear if this is an issue that could lead to more absences in the near future. However, this would not necessarily have to be a problem, since Dallas has responded quite effectively to the absences of its star and has posted a 5-1 record in the six games in which it has not been able to participate. that we took on course.
Much of that credit goes to Kyrie Irving, who, however, is also a doubt due to discomfort in his right shoulder. All in all, the point guard returned to training yesterday, and a priori everything indicates that he will be available to face the Clippers who are looking to regain their sensations to return to the direct access positions for the playoffs.
