Mavs star Luka Doncic will be out about a month before check on calf injury, AP source says

Associated Press  

DALLAS — Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic will be out about a month before being re-evaluated for a calf injury sustained in a Christmas Day loss to Minnesota, a person with knowledge of the injury said Friday. The injury happened in Doncic’s second game back after missing two games with a left heel contusion. Dallas also added four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson from Golden State in the offseason, and his 3-point threat makes it easier to survive without Doncic. Naji Marshall, another offseason addition, scored at least 20 points in each of the first four games Doncic missed with the sprained wrist.
