Add Luka Doncic to the list of superstar players missing multiple games this season due to an injury.
Doncic is dealing with a right wrist injury and will be reevaluated in a week, Marc Stein reports.
The Mavericks guard was wearing a wrap around his wrist when he met the media after Tuesday’s game against New Orleans, Grant Afseth of the Dallas Hoops Journal notes. Doncic scored 26 points in 30 minutes during that victory over New Orleans.
“I started feeling it in the first quarter, but then it just got worse, but nothing serious,” Doncic said when asked about his wrist injury.
Doncic didn’t practice on Wednesday. He is averaging 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists this season.
Dallas had just started to hit its stride, winning three straight heading into a three-game road trip. The Mavericks’ next game is at Denver on Friday. They also have games on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, so it appears Doncic will miss at least four contests.
Jaden Hardy, Quentin Grimes and Spencer Dinwiddie could all see increased playing time in his absence.
