Luka Dončić, the Dallas Mavericks’ star, is currently sidelined with a left calf strain sustained during the Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Initial updates suggested he would be re-evaluated after a month, pointing to a possible return in late January.
However, recent reports state that Dončić is still “weeks away from returning.” The Mavericks remain hopeful he will make his comeback before the All-Star break in mid-February.
In Dončić’s absence, the team has struggled, with a 3-7 record during this stretch, bringing their season total to 22-18. His return is highly anticipated to strengthen the Mavericks’ performance for the remainder of the season.
