Mavericks’ Star Luka Doncic Returns to Practice, But Preseason Debut Unlikely
The wait is almost over for Dallas Mavericks fans, as Luka Doncic finally returned to practice on Wednesday after a two-week hiatus. However, it’s unlikely that the 25-year-old superstar will take the court when the Mavericks face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in a preseason game on Thursday.
Rebounding from Injury
Doncic has been nursing a left calf contusion, which he sustained during team workouts in training camp. Coach Jason Kidd was impressed with his star player’s progress, saying he did “really, really well” in Wednesday’s practice. Despite this, the Mavericks are taking a cautious approach, ensuring Doncic is fully recovered before throwing him into game action.
Regular Season Countdown
With the regular season just around the corner, the Mavericks are gearing up for their home opener against the San Antonio Spurs on October 24. One thing is certain – fans are eager to see Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and Klay Thompson take the court together for the first time. Thompson, who has been dealing with back tightness, has seen action in multiple preseason games.
A Look Back at Doncic’s Impressive Career
Last season, Doncic dominated the league, averaging 33.9 points per game and earning himself a fifth consecutive first-team All-NBA selection. Over his 400-game career, he has averaged 28.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists, solidifying his position as one of the NBA’s elite players.
As the Mavericks prepare for the new season, one thing is clear – Luka Doncic’s return to the court will be a welcome sight for fans and teammates alike.
