Luka Doncic injury update: December 21 vs. Clippers

Luka Doncic injury update: December 21 vs. Clippers

Updated:

By: Stan Son

UPDATE: The Mavericks play the Clippers again on Saturdy and Doncic will sit this one out as well. Kyrie Irving missed Thursday’s game, but he’s off the injury report for Saturday.

Doncic was magnificent during Sunday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, putting up 45 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, three steals and two blocks in 38 minutes. Unfortunately, he suffered a heel contusion. There’s been no mention of when that exactly happened.

Doncic did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday and has now been ruled out for Thursday’s contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kyrie Irving is questionable with right shoulder soreness but he did practice on Wednesday.

Doncic missed six games in November. Irving played in all of those while Klay Thompson missed three of those games. Quentin Grimes and/or Naji Marshall could enter the starting lineup.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
