Luka Doncic injury update: Mavericks optimistic star point guard will return for Game 3 or 4, per report

Luka Doncic has missed the first two games of the Dallas Mavericks’ first-round series against the Utah Jazz with a calf strain, but according to Shams Charania, there is optimism that he will be able to return for either Game 3 or 4 in Salt Lake City. Doncic’s calf strain is reportedly improving and workouts over the next few days could determine when he is able to return to the floor.

Doncic initially suffered the injury in the regular-season finale against the San Antonio Spurs. The Mavericks star was initially supposed to miss that game due to an automatic suspension triggered by his technical foul count, but when that technical foul was rescinded by the league, he wound up playing. It cost him the first two games of this series due to that calf strain.
