If being down 17 at halftime on Christmas Day wasn’t unhealthy sufficient for the Dallas Mavericks, shedding their star participant to an obvious harm makes issues even worse.
Luka Doncic left the sport within the second quarter of Dallas’ sport in opposition to the Timberwolves on Wednesday and has now been dominated out for the rest of the sport.
Doncic was having an environment friendly first half, scoring 14 factors on 5-of-9 taking pictures (3-of-5 from three). Doncic and Kyrie Irving mixed for 27 of the Mavericks’ 40 first-half factors.
Doncic injured his hamstring with just below three minutes remaining within the first half, and his absence for the rest of the sport will give Dallas a troublesome battle in trying a comeback within the second half.
Dallas will intently monitor Doncic’s harm standing, and he will definitely not return to motion till he’s 100% healed and prepared for sport motion.
