Luka Doncic has been sidelined since Christmas due to a calf strain and aimed for a return on Feb. 8 against the Rockets. Recent reports indicate Dallas has reconsidered this timeline because of conditioning concerns. While Doncic's father reassures that Luka is training and recovering well, his absence from the All-Star game has shifted focus on conditioning and weight loss. The ongoing nature of Doncic's calf injuries from previous seasons heightens concerns about his health moving forward. His return date is anticipated around key matchups against the Lakers and other teams before the All-Star break.
Luka Dončić was targeting a Feb. 8 return from his calf strain, but long-term concerns about conditioning have led to Dallas changing course.
Luka's injury is basically gone. He's already training, everything is going as planned and everything is fine, according to Luka's father.
Due to his injury, Luka was not named an All-Star this season, providing him more time to lose weight that the Mavs claim he's put on.
Luka's history of calf injuries raises concerns, and it's something that will need monitoring as the season progresses.
