Luka to get MRI tomorrow on his thigh, seems serious, says he dosent feel good, walking with a noticiable limp.
Luka Doncic said the plan is to get an MRI tomorrow on his left thigh strain.
Asked immediately after the game how he was feeling and said "not good."
Was favoring the left leg slightly as he walked in for media. Said everyone will know more tomorrow after he gets imaging done.

Again, im incredibly astonished by the incompetence on the Mavericks from everyone involved on this, why was Luka allowed to step on the floor? On a back to back aswell.
But Jason Midd still left him in the game. Typicalššššššš
Kyrie team now
Why the fuck did we play him?
Fuck this we really might be a play-in team.
Give him time off and let Kyrie cook. Heās less useful at whatever percent heās at rn than he is resting.
Shut him down. Weāre not going anywhere with a hobbled Luka and he looked worse than 40 year old Dirk tonight. Start playing Jaden Hardy real minutes and let Kyrie become the leader of this team. If weāre still in the playoffs and Luka gets healthy and conditioned great, if he doesnāt weāre a 1st round exit anyways
Iām a physio and Iām not quite sure what the hell the Mavs trainers were doing wrapping Lukaās thigh like that over and over. If it was kinesio tape Iād understand, but that was tape for securing joints like ankles, wrists, knees. Wrapping a thigh with that is pretty much like blood flow restriction and it doesnāt let the muscle contract and stretch normally.
I might wrap if thereās a contusion and want some padding, but with a much smaller area of coverage. This was the whole thigh.
Yeah, if you don’t know why your thigh is hurting, probably a bad idea to play a professional basketball game.
Now Lukas gonna have to rest at least 2 more games to let it heal properlyā¦ This organization is just poorly ran.
This isnāt just a personnel and coaching problem..: Itās starts at the Top! And our FO is shitā¦ Then Kidd makes it worse by not being a great coachā¦ which then makes our roster look worse than what it really is
Most of our close losses this year were against teams we shouldāve or couldāve beaten. Not playing Wood when heās needed mostā¦ Not having great ATOs. Not allowing Hardy/Green to growā¦ Terrible lineupsā¦ We just shouldnāt be THIS bad with 2 Future HOFersā¦ Iām over itā¦
See yāall Saturday smh
Whoever gave him the greenlight to play today needs to be fired yesterday
So he meant to complain to training staff instead of the refs
Time to get our 1st round pick back.
I love that you included āseems seriousā as your own editorialized take, lol
This sub is wildān 24/7
Mr. Cuban, I donāt feel so good
I wasn’t able to watch. So wtf happened? Everyone asking why he was playing. Was he hurt coming in?
As soon as i saw Luka play basketball through basically the entire offseason, i knew injuries were going to be a factor.
Elite players do physical therapy and have a whole physical and nutritional plans in place for the offseason to get them ready for the next season, they dont just play more basketball to try and keep in shape.
I’ve heard praises about the Mavs medical staff for as long as I remember, although I am pretty sure it’s just from people regurgitating the praise without substance.
Allowing Luka to play in the condition he was in tonight, on a 2nd night of a back-to-back is laughable.
yeah big shout out to the medical staff for allowing him to play through this. incompetence at its finest
More time for overwatch
Probably shouldnāt have played to begin with but I gave him credit for trying to stick it out on the second night of a B2B cause we need every game we can get. The part to me that was absolutely infuriating was when Luka was waving down the bench to stop play so he could come out and J Kidd pretended like he didnāt even see him. Not only that but when New Orleans finally called a timeout Kidd sent Luka BACK OUT on the floor.
Again, probably shouldnāt have played from the jump but if you were going to test it there needed to be a far shorter rope, especially when the player himself is saying, ādawg I gotta come outā at one point.
So the mavs are mismanaging Luka now? Wtf is going on with this organization?
Give him a week off. This team is ass anyway.
Wow fuck you Kidd, if it’s that serious, why let him play????
Let him start the next game get a tech…sit him for the rest of the game and let him be suspended for the next then he has 2 more
This is exactly why we got Kyrie. Kyrie will keep us in the playoff picture. Let Luka rest for thye rest of the season or atleast 10+ games.
He’s been limping since early in the Suns game
Can you rest the poor fucker already.
Kyrie: 2016 playoff mode just on
