Injury Update: Mavericks Top Man Suffers An Undisclosed Injury…
Luka Doncic, a prominent player for the Dallas Mavericks, hurt his left hamstring yesterday night (3/13) against the Golden State Warriors. After the game, Doncic did not talk to NBA reporters because he was still undergoing treatment after his teammates had left the arena.
Head coach of the Mavericks, Jason Kidd, stated, “He just gave me a signal that his hamstring was tight, so we took him out.” “On Thursday, we’ll have a better response. This is a dynamic entity. This is currently being discussed.
Today, March 14, the Mavericks take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. It’s unclear if Doncic will participate.
One of the top players in the NBA, Doncic is shooting 49.4% from the field, 37.8% from beyond the arc, and 78.8% from the free-throw line this season while averaging 34.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 9.8 assists.
Mavericks record is 38–28. According to the Western Conference standings, they are in ninth position.
Grant Williams was throwing trash at Doncic during a scrimmage, so Doncic went on a 26-6 run by himself, according to Mavericks associate general manager Michael Finley. Bill Duffy is the same agent for both Williams and Doncic.
Williams was signed and traded by the Mavericks to the Boston Celtics during the previous offseason. Williams was moved to the Charlotte Hornets after playing in just 47 games for Dallas.
Finley stated on 105.3 The Fan, “I remember, just to share a quick story with you guys, one day in practice, a player on our team—I won’t name him—but it’s Grant Williams—he decided he wanted to get under Luka’s skin.” “In his opinion, Luka wasn’t prepared to train that day. They were in the middle of a scrimmage, and to cut a long story short, he was trash talking Luka all over the court. When Luka finally said okay, he embarked on an independent 26-6 run. Anyone can inquire; I’m not making this up. He displayed everything. Everything by himself, including the floaters, post-ups, and 3s.
