Horrifying Injury Scare for Mavs: Luka Doncic Returns to Locker Room In Agony After Bizzare James Harden Play

The Dallas Mavericks have been clicking on all cylinders so far this season. The team has clinched the third spot in the Western Conference standings. And this game against the Los Angeles Clippers is just another hurdle for Luka Doncic and the rest of the Mavericks roster while on the road.

However, things may seem a bit more tough after Doncic returned to the locker room. A bizarre play by James Harden quickly sidelined the Mavs? leading scorer. Whether Luka will be back or not is another question. But is this injury going to develop into something that goes on to haunt Dallas?

Is Luka Doncic ruled out of the game?

The Los Angeles Clippers have all the star power a team could ask for. Yet, the squad has been having a tough time winning games lately. And facing off the third-seeded Mavericks was certainly no walk in the park.

However, an injury sustained by Luka Doncic may have made things easier for the Clippers. During the first quarter, Doncic ended up injuring his hand while attempting to steal the ball away from James Harden.

According to Mavericks beat writer Grant Afseth, ?Luka Doncic (hand) went to the locker room after being subbed out. He was noticeably bothered by it early in the game and continued to be. He yelled “f**k” at one point after passing the ball.?

Luka Doncic?s absence from the game is going to cripple the Mavericks. But if the injury sustained by the Slovenian star is severe, this could indefinitely hamper the run, overall record, and the momentum Dallas has going on for them.

Doncic leads the team in points, rebounds, assists, and even minutes played. Having him out of the lineup would, no doubt, create chaos for Mavs fans.

The Mavericks thanking their lucky stars

The Dallas Mavericks do have another All-Star and a proven scorer in Kyrie Irving. If Doncic gets ruled out of the lineup due to his injury, it would give the rest of the players on the Mavericks roster to step up to the occasion.

But luckily for Mavericks fans, Doncic was seen back on the court to start the second quarter. The four-time All-Star decided to muscle his way back to the court in order to help his team win.

Moreover, the 6?7 guard seems to be laser-focused given how he has been playing since coming back from the locker room. Although, the training staff will probably evaluate his hand after the game is over, just to be sure.

Let?s see if the Mavericks can continue climbing the ladder in the West.
