The Dallas Mavericks have ruled out Luka Doncic for Game 1 of their playoff series on Saturday against the Utah Jazz.

There is "significant concern" about whether Doncic will be cleared for Game 2.

Doncic suffered a calf injury during the final game of the regular season.

The Mavericks will take it day-by-day after playing without him in Game 1.

This is brutal. Was one of the players I was most excited to watch in these playoffs.

And with that, people can stop bringing up load management.

stop being a wuss. injuries can happen anytime and anywhere. you mine as well hold a player out for all 82 games by your logic. 90% chance he doesn't get injured. hold him out of practice too, and then it's 99%. If he never plays in a game, or in practice, then he'll be SUPER fresh for the playoffs! *facepalm*

I'd love to see some reliable stats but I don't think I've seen as many injuries before as in the last 4-5 years
Maybe there is something between the game changing and the volume of games that doesn't agree with the players... or maybe it's all in my head.

you need luka to win you if you keep winning sit him if you get down 0-2 hes got to come back
