He has been playing with ailments
A few days ago, Jared Greenberg of TNT media revealed that point guard “Luka Doncic” has been suffering from an injury that, under normal circ*mstances, would keep him on the sidelines.
“I was told today that if this were the regular season, they would have shut him down for a minimum of at least two weeks.”
Omar EscalanteLive reporter
Luka Doncic has been visibly playing with physical discomfort and has been listed as questionable, but despite that he has been participating and sealing brilliant performances with the Mavs.
According to the NBA's official injury report, Doncic is suffering from a sprained right knee and left ankle pain and has been suffering from it for some time, playing all 15 playoff games, missing the last two contests.
