Doncic missed three games with left knee and ankle sprains

Luka Doncic is currently ninth in these Olympics with 17 points. Hes played one quarter. After boldly declaring that a gold medal for Slovenia would be at the top of his priority list, the Mavs’ magician led his national team to a historical run to book their first-ever Olympic stint earlier this month. And, right from the get go, Luka wasn’t about to waste any time. The 22-year-old Mavs superstar, as always, was deep in his bag in the opening quarter. In his first nine minutes of Olympic b...

They ducked under screens and fought over them, with Leonard, George, Nicolas Batum, Patrick Beverley, Marcus Morris and Rajon Rondo all spending at least a f...

April 21, 2021 It’s been a peculiar season for Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. Though they managed to pull off a much-needed win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, Doncic missed another triple-double by a single assist after tallying 30 points, 10 rebounds, and nine dimes. If you ask him, his numbers don’t really matter at the end of it all as long as they got the W, but the sensation from Slovenia has been on a triple-double drought that’s worth going in on. Doncic missed his 1...

Leading Off (04/19/2021) Its always election season. By Zac Crain Published in FrontBurner April 19, 2021 6:13 am Mavs Are in a Rough Stretch. Friday night, the team let  a pretty desultory Knicks game get away from them in the fourth quarter. Last night, they weren’t really in it until the fourth, but a furious comeback led by Luka Doncic fell short. (Partly this happened because he picked up another technical foul.) This is coming after a week where their only win was thanks to Luka Magi...

Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Last we heard from our good friends the New York Knicks, Dallas caught them in a bit of a rough patch. The loss against Dallas in early April saw New York dip back below .500 in the midst of losing five out of six games. Well, wouldn’t you know it, those wacky kids just don’t know how to stay down! The Knicks come to town on Friday riding a four game winning streak...
