Luka Doncic is no longer in danger and only required stitches after the injury. The Dallas Mavericks’ star player, Luka Doncic, achieved his tenth triple-double of the season and led his team to a 112-104 win against the Washington Wizards on Monday night. He was taken down by a charge and had to sit out for five minutes in the third and fourth quarters. The head coach of the Mavericks, Jason Kidd, was impressed by Doncic’s performance.
Despite already dealing with a broken nose and a chin injury from a previous match, Luka Doncic was able to continue playing after receiving stitches. Despite playing for over 37 minutes, he led the Mavericks to victory in the fourth quarter, scoring a strong 26 points. During a press conference, Jason Kidd provided an update on Doncic’s injuries, assuring that he had received stitches but was okay.
Jason Kidd praised Doncic’s toughness, stating that he is one of the toughest players he has coached and is not afraid of a fight. Kidd also mentioned how Doncic never complains and loves the competition.
In addition to Doncic, Kyrie Irving also has a sprained thumb. Despite their tough approach, the Mavericks may face difficulties in the season due to this setback.
The recent game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks held a special significance as Luka Doncic’s daughter, Gabriela, attended her first-ever NBA game. Doncic shared a heartfelt moment after the game, posting a priceless image of the occasion. This visit was part of a memorable experience he had with his fiancée, Anamaria Goltes.
Luka Doncic expressed his thoughts on his daughter’s first game, saying that it was a different feeling and he will remember it forever, even though she was sleeping throughout the game. He described it as a unique experience.
Speaking of the Mavericks, their chances of contending in the Western Conference rely on Luka and Kyrie consistently performing at a high level and the rest of the team stepping up. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving have established themselves as one of the top duos in the NBA. Building chemistry between them and the entire team has been a challenge since the trade last year, but Kyrie seems to be more comfortable in Dallas during the current season.
