Bad news for Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic (25 years old and 1.98 m) will be out for at least a week due to a strain in his right wrist that he suffered in the first quarter of the game against the New Orleans Pelicans, according to Shams Charania (ESPN).
The point guard will be reevaluated in seven days and after missing four games: the Mavs will not have their star against Denver Nuggets, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks y New York Knicks.
The Slovenian made light of his physical problem when he appeared with a bandage on his wrist at the press conference after the victory against the Louisiana franchise (132-91). “I started to feel it in the first quarter, but then it got worse, but nothing serious”said Doncic, who closed the matchup with 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
This setback comes after missing his first game of the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a bruise on his right knee.
Doncic averages 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists in his seventh season in the NBA. All of them with the Mavericks who are currently, and with a balance of 8-7, in 11th position in the Western Conference, outside the play-in positions.
