But then, the Slovenian was reminded of something about life. It will never quite go your way, especially when you need it to the most. And sure enough, after playing through a thigh strain for a long, long time, Doncic was finally forced to give in to a deeper aggravation of the same injury.
Of course, this could’ve been bad. Fortunately, however, things seemed to have turned out far better than what many were expecting. But, has he been so fortuitous that he will be available for tonight’s game against the Grizzlies?
