However, there was concern among fans about Doncic’s return. As a result, the Dallas Mavericks have released an update.

Luka Doncic’s stats in the 2022-23 NBA season

4-time all-star Luka Doncic is averaging 33-9-8. Those numbers firmly put him in MVP contention. However, he is facing stiff competition from the likes of Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, and Joel Embiid.

Doncic’s team is also lacking firepower, and because of that, they sit in the 5th seed. A far cry from the first spot, and with teams in the West heating up, it remains to be seen whether they can hold onto it.

Fans will be eager to see Doncic back on the court, we certainly will be.
