Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic will be sidelined at least one week due to a left calf contusion, according to the team's announcement. Doncic suffered this injury during a workout and is expected to miss training camp and the initial games of the preseason. The Mavs have their training camp in Las Vegas and kick off the preseason at home against the Memphis Grizzlies next Monday. His absence is a significant concern as he is pivotal for the team's success.
Luka Doncic was a first-team All-NBA selection last season, showcasing his importance to the Mavericks. The team now faces challenges getting through the preseason without him, as Doncic also had a calf injury last preseason. Injuries like this can impact a player's readiness for the regular season, but Doncic managed to recover in time before. However, every setback poses a risk to maintaining his rhythm and conditioning heading into the competitive season.
