Luka Dončić’s injury woes continue, and this time it’s a wrist issue. Just ahead of the Mavericks’ game against the Denver Nuggets on Friday, the star player injured his right wrist, adding another challenge to an already injury-riddled season. While the full extent of the injury is still unknown, reports indicate that Dončić will be re-evaluated in a week. Fans are already sharing mixed reactions, from light-hearted comments to genuine concerns for the Mavericks’ franchise player.
The Dallas Mavericks were dealt a major blow on Thursday as Luka Dončić, the team’s cornerstone, suffered a wrist injury. NBA insider Marc Stein reported that Dončić injured his right wrist just ahead of the Mavericks’ game against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. While the full extent of the injury remains unclear, Stein shared that the five-time All-Star will be re-evaluated in a week. Fans are divided on the news, with some offering light-hearted responses, while others voice genuine concern for the superstar’s health.
Kyrie Irving will carry the Mavs while Luka is out. Ball movement was much better against OKC without Luka. This could be a good thing for the team in the long run so role players get more opportunities ahead of the playoffs,” wrote another user.
Man, how many injuries to superstars is that now? KD, Embiid (since returned), Luka, probably more I’m forgetting. And then you have guys like Maxey, Zion and Ingram that are a tier below but still stars. Tough luck,” another user wrote.
“Hope he gets back and the mavs survive while he’s out. As a suns fan currently on a 5 game losing streak without kd and beal, I wouldn’t wish this on even mavs fans who I generally hate,” commented another.
“Sad shit but if it helps in healing his groin injury which has been nagging him for some time it may be good for him,” commented another X user.
