[MacMahon] Luka Doncic came up limping in the middle of a play. Never made it back on defense and headed straight to the locker room after Mavs called a timeout.

  2. Out for the rest of the game, “calf contusion”.  I sometimes wonder what kind of actual time he spends conditioning his body with all of these injuries.  He’s definitely not helping dispell the notion that European players are soft.  

  3. We might be Play-In Bound depending on the severity of the calf strain

    Man y’all are getting defensive af with the current situation. Take a good look at how brutal the January schedule is. Drop several games and we’re down to the 7-8th seed

  4. Shut him down, this is ridiculous. He’s woefully out of shape and just generally banged up.

    He needs a significant amount of time off to focus on health, tough pill to swallow but is what it is

  5. Said it before and I’ll say it again, last year was our chance at winning the championship. Our chances of pulling it all the way through again this year are just not the same.

  6. honestly this might be a similar strain to what KD had right before his achilles injury so they should really be cautious. they dont need to rush him back.

  7. I’d say he’s probably going to be out 2-3 weeks. No way this is a contusion, it’s probably a calf strain. Damn.

  10. Knowing Luka he is going to change his play style to fit his current fitness level.

    His fitness is not changing if it hasn’t by now. We are stuck on this merry go round.

  11. Luka lead the league in points last year and we made a Finals appearance. Mavs fan “he’s soft and needs to take conditioning seriously.”

    Sustaining an injury in December when playoffs start in April. Mavs fans “he’s so soft”

    Why so much hate? Just rest up and keep on keeping up.

  13. All of a sudden cowboys fans find themselves on mavs internet taking about Luka’s condition.

    Notice how they’re all using that same word “Conditioning”

    Or are they just bots?

  14. During pre game he’s kicking balls around doing dumb shit vs taking slow and care of his legs. If he can’t get it together with all these injuries season is over. May as well start thinking about next season.

  15. It’s not a “serious” injury but it’s concerning that he can’t string 3 games straight without getting injured. It’s like his body is breaking down

  17. Classic MacMahon. Only way to out-MacMahon this tweet would be to remark how fat his ankle looked

  18. At least I don’t have tickets to a game on Friday after having tickets to the Clippers game last Saturday or anything. Not like I wanted to see Luka play at some point

  21. Like I kept saying before, he should have spent all summer losing weight and getting fit since that is very difficult to do during the busy season if you get injured. Having to recover from injury after injury with the extra pounds he has will keep wearing him down as the season progresses and then render him not only more prone to injury but taking longer to recover by the time the team gets to the finals. It’s called compounding. I got downvoted in the beginning of the season for saying this. Don’t know why people insist on being in denial.

  22. So many people in this thread have inside access to Luka’s off-season. He looks good, but I don’t know….these people on Reddit seem pretty sure. Anyway, where are you guys seeing him goof off and not take conditioning seriously? Honestly asking, because I really want to see it too. Please be serious.

  23. This entire post is such great evidence how mavs fans appreciate and support Luka. Good job getting behind your star player’s back.

  24. If this was anybody else this wouldn’t be an issue.

    But because it’s ***LUKA***, then conditioning has to be brought into the conversation.

    Word? Is that how that works?

    Does being unconditioned lead to calf strains?

    Does being outta shape the root cause of injuries?

    If so, then all these other fan bases need to be screaming at their injured superstar/players that they need to do a better job of their offseason conditioning…

  25. No need to rush him back, doors closed on individual awards if he gets hurt again anyway and it could make him miss more time. He needs to comeback in Feb for a playoff push. Rather be a 6 seed with a healthy Luka.

  26. have tickets to the game on the 17th, will be driving down from KC to see my first ever NBA game. Obviously sit Luka until he’s healthy but man I hope he’s back before then!

  29. Y’all are tweaking so much. Literally the injury could’ve happened to anyone. His conditioning has improved a lot, looks a lot slimmer, everyone expects him to look like LBJ during the Heat era, relax.

  30. Let’s hope it’s not too bad and it’s day to day. Got tickets to see the suns this Friday too 😕

  32. Lukas longevity is worrisome. Someone needs to tell him that his joints and muscles might not carry that frame much past the age of 30. Needs to lose weight not because it will make him better, but for the long haul.

    Or else hit up LeBron to figure out what cocktails he’s been taking for the past 15 years.

  33. He showed up out of shape (again) to start the season, and he got hurt (again). One day, these guys will put in the work that LeBron, Kobe, Duncan, etc, have shown is necessary to be an elite player in the NBA.
