“Not Good”: Latest Injury Update on Luka Doncic After Early Exit From Game vs New Orleans Pelicans

Luka Doncic isn’t quite given enough credit for his ability to play through pain. In an NBA filled with players investing all their time in load management, the Slovenian phenom never wants to sit on the bench. And so, even when the man is in pain, you can see him try and play through it as much as possible.

However, this can be a pretty bad idea. After all, when the pain surpasses a certain threshold, it probably means that the injury is a bit more serious than what was previously expected. And at one point during Mavs vs Pelicans, Luka Doncic realized this was also the case with his recent injury, due to which he left the game.

But, how serious is his injury? Is the Mavericks superstar set to miss significant time? Or will he be back before anyone knows it?
