RS 22/23 - Mavs @ Grizzlies (Monday, 10PM EST)

[Archx]

I thought Luka had a full session 3 days ago, how come he's not ready yet? We are screwed without him. Kinda sick of watching him miss 16-18 games every season. He's gonan be chilling half a season by the time he's 30/

Blame the FO and coaching staff, they created a roster that necessitate him playing for 36 mins at least to have a shot against any team in the league.
Luka is at least 250lbs, likely higher, and his playing style has him dribble and drive constantly, he'll never be an iron man.

Just to add to that. A competent coaching staff would figure out that player badly limping up and down the floor for 2 straight Q's is not a good idea. If the player is still forcing to play, you have a medical staff to advise you on that. Probably a minor injury that turned out into something bigger because of horrible judgement from the coach.

Its not the coaches fault he cant get in shape and is 15kg overweight. Luka can do no wrong in some peoples eyes. Its easier to blame others.

Sometimes athletes are their own worst enemies and you need trained pro's to take over. If someone from coaching staff did the same as Gary Vitti did here, Luka might have been playing already.
And this is not even an argument about Doncic's weight, it is what it is at this point, that's a discussion for off season or beginning of the next. Being smart and react the right way in certain situations is what is important. You see your star player barely walk up and down the floor for such an extended time in hardly important game and you do nothing?

Even a grade 1 strain can easily take few weeks. So I don't believe we need to blame anyone.

Well yeah but what's the point of keeping a player in the game if he can barely walk? He hurts the team more than anything else and in the process you risk of an even bigger injury. Goes for anyone in any sport.

You can see that in every sport, if injury is not to severe. Football players almost always try before they go out. We have seen LeBron playing till the end, although he was injured against the Mavs.
