Devastating Christmas day loss for the Mavericks, loosing the game 105-99 to the Timberwolves. The game wasn’t the only thing that the Mavericks lost, Luka Doncic has been taken out due to a left calf injury. Luka Doncic left the game during the second quarter, and would not return for the rest of the night.
Kyrie Irving had a chance to put the Mavericks in front of the Timberwolves, but the shot ultimately missed and so did the hope for a late game rally by the Mavericks.
The Slovenian all-star was in the middle of a play when he suddenly stopped and grabbed his calf. After the Mavs called a timeout, he slowly limped of the court and went to the locker room.
Doncic was only back for 2 games from a left heel contusion, and also missed another 5 games due to a wrist strain. Even in their best player’s absence, the Mavericks are 6-2 in the season when Doncic doesn’t play.
In the loss Kyrie Irving scored 39 points, while Thompson made 4 3-pointers to pass Regie Miller in made 3-pointers.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
