“You Always Come Back Stronger”: Mavericks’ Luka Doncic Receives Heartfelt Message From Mother

Dallas Mavericks have had an overly successful season. They weren’t even projected to make the Playoffs in many books. However, they rallied behind the Luka Doncic and rose to the occasion rather spectacularly.

Doncic entered the MVP conversation in just his second season in the league. Along with that, his play has transitioned well into the Playoffs level.

However, Game-3 was a forgettable affair for the young prodigy. He had a horrible shooting night, conceded a technical foul, and then injured his ankle seriously. He tried to find his way back to the court but was forced to lay off after the pain got too much.

Luka was in visible pain and tried to play it strong. However, a mother is never fooled by this. Mirjam Poterbin posted a story to her Instagram account, sending love to her son following his injury inside the bubble.

Dallas Mavericks to miss Luka Doncic in game four?

Considering Luka’s resolve to return to the game must have been a relief for concerned Mavs fans. However, his subsequent departure definitely undid the said respite. At the young age of 21, neither fans nor teammates would want him risking his health at such an early stage in his career.

While we must respect Doncic for carrying himself back into the game, his absence in the next game against the Clippers is something that we will have to accept.

He is the lead offense initiator for this Mavs outfit, and his presence will certainly be missed. However, the ascendant play of Trey Burke and Seth Curry should allay the team’s woes a little. Kristaps Porzingis’ form is also a positive sign for the team.

Despite all of this, it is no secret that the Mavs would rather have their young superstar carry them through this series. Nonetheless, with both their star players under the age of 25 and tied down with contracts, the team certainly has a very bright future.

However, their Playoffs journey may not last too long if Doncic is unavailable to set the tempo for the Mavs.
