Luka Dončić limps off the court with a left calf injury during the Mavericks-Timberwolves game on Christmas Day.
Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic will be out about a month before being re-evaluated for a left calf strain sustained in a Christmas Day loss to Minnesota, the team announced Saturday.
Dončić exited Wednesday’s 105-99 loss to the Timberwolves in the second quarter. With Dallas trailing 48-38 with 2:55 remaining in the first half, Dončić appeared to suffer a non-contact leg injury. Grimicing in pain, he limped to the sideline as play continued and headed back to the locker room.
Dončić has a history of issues with his left calf, missing all or most of the past two preseasons while previously sitting the first three games of the 2022 playoffs.
The five-time All-Star has already missed eight games this season with a variety of injuries, including a right knee contusion, a right wrist sprain and a left heel contusion.
Dončić is averaging 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists this season, but he will be ineligible for any postseason awards should he miss another seven games.
