Luka Doncic Injury Update: Will Mavs star man miss Game 3 against Wolves in WCF?

Luka Doncic pulled off one of the most historic performances on the road in NBA playoffs history. Doncic scored an incredible game winning step back three to lead Dallas Mavericks to an incredible 18-point comeback against Minnesota Timberwolves and win the game 109-108 to hand his side a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.

Luka Doncic raked up 32 points, 10 rebounds and 13 points in a splendid evening, but despite his great performance all was not fine for the superstar as there were moments where he was clearly struggling from an injury that has plagues him throughout the post season. He even went back to the locker room midgame to attend to his injury. 

This has once again raised concern and doubts regarding whether Luka Doncic will be fit going forward into the series or not. 

Luka Doncic Injury Update

As the series now shifts back to Dallas for games 3 and 4 here is an injury update on the Mavericks superstar's availability for the Game 3 clash against Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Luka Doncic has been listed as questionable for Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the official injury report of Dallas Mavericks. He is struggling with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness. 

This does come as a bit of a concern to Mavericks supporters as in the last game, Luka Doncic was listed as probable.

Aside from Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks will also be missing Maxi Kleber, who is listed as out due to a dislocated shoulder.
