Luka Doncic Sidelined: Mavericks Star Guard Out with Calf Contusion.

Luka Doncic, the star guard for the Dallas Mavericks, suffered a left calf contusion during team workouts and will be out for at least a week, the team announced on Wednesday. This is a precautionary measure, and he’ll be re-evaluated in a week to assess his progress.

With the Mavericks’ first game scheduled against the San Antonio Spurs on October 24, this injury timeline might not significantly impact Doncic’s availability for the start of the season. However, given his history of minor injuries and high usage rate, it’s essential to monitor his recovery.

Doncic had an impressive last season, averaging 33.9 points, 9.8 assists, and 9.2 rebounds per game. The Mavericks are likely taking a cautious approach to ensure their superstar guard is fully healed and ready to go for the upcoming season.
