Luka Doncic strained his left calf in Dallas’ 130-120 win over San Antonio in what turned out to be a meaningless regular-season finale.
Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic reaches for his lower leg after suffering an unknown lower leg injury in the second half of an NBA basketball game against the San Antonio Spurs, Sunday, April 10, 2022, in Dallas. – Luka Doncic strained his left calf in Dallas' 130-120 win over San Antonio in what turned out to be a meaningless regular-season finale on Sunday night, putting the superstar's status in question for the playoff-bound Mavericks.
The two-time All-Star had turned to run to the defensive end late in the third quarter when he pulled up after the first step and stopped. Coach Jason Kidd said after the game he didn't have any update on the injury, but Doncic's status could be in doubt with fourth-seeded Dallas set to open the playoffs next weekend against Utah.The Mavericks had a chance to move up the third seed, but needed New Orleans to beat Golden State when the Pelicans were resting several regulars. The Warriors won 128-107.
Kidd said before the game the club wanted to treat it as a dress rehearsal for the playoffs even if it didn’t mean moving up from the fourth seed.
