Mavericks Rumors: Luka Doncic Might Finally Get Help

Slovenia’s Luka Doncic recently competed at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Despite giving it his all, his side lost in the tournament’s semifinal. France pipped Slovenia in an absolute thriller. Now, his focus will shift to the NBA, where he will compete with the Dallas Mavericks. The powerful star has an impeccable record for the franchise. And ahead of the new season, Doncic will receive an encouraging piece of news.

Last year, the Mavericks finished 5th in the regular season, before crashing out in Round-1 of the knockouts. The side cut a sorry figure against Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers. Doncic was the star of the show for Dallas, but his heroics were not enough. In the clutch moments, the international recruit did not have someone to back him up. He carried the squad till Game-7, where they were eventually defeated in a lopsided affair. Even in the final game, it was Doncic who scored 46 points, but nobody else crossed the 20 point mark. He needed support, and there is a glimmer of hope for that now.
