Heavy blow for Dallas Mavericks! Luka Doncic could be out for a long period of time

A harsh blow for the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day. And the least of it was the defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Luka Doncic left injured during the second quarter and, as reported by ESPN, could be out for a long period of time.

The Slovenian is dealing with a calf issue and will miss several games. Today, an MRI will be done to determine the exact severity of his calf problem.

"It's painful for all of us," said Kyrie Irving after scoring 39 points against the Wolves. "I pray for Luka to have a speedy recovery. However long it takes, we'll have to adapt. It's the nature of the business. Hopefully, he'll take his time and return when he's ready."

It's not been an easy season for Luka, who has already missed 8 games due to physical issues: knee contusion, wrist sprain, and heel problem. "Let's hope this is his last injury and not too serious," commented Jason Kidd.
