Luka Dončić’s Recovery Timeline Extended Following Leg Injury
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić sustained a muscle injury to his leg during a contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder in early April, impacting his bid to challenge for the NBA championship. Initial assessments indicated a recovery period between four and six weeks, with Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard expected to assume increased responsibility in the team’s outside offense. Following additional therapy in Spain and a return to the United States, Luka Dončić is gradually increasing his preparation for training.
However, recent reports from ESPN suggest a prolonged recovery time. The outlet anticipates that Dončić will not be available for the initial two games of the upcoming season. This extended time frame reflects the severity of his injury.
Smart and Kennard will continue to play a crucial role while Luka’s rehabilitation progresses. The team is focused on a measured approach to his return, prioritizing a full and safe recovery. Further updates on his time to return will be provided as they become available.
