Luka Doncic has suffered a sprained left knee and left ankle, the Dallas Mavericks announced.
The Slovenian star won’t be able to help the team in the upcoming clash against the Phoenix Suns but, according to ESPN, the injury isn’t serious and he shouldn’t be sidelined for a longer period of time.
Doncic suffered the injuries with 44 seconds remaining in Monday’s win over the Denver Nuggets after contesting a driving layup by guard Austin Rivers, who fell onto Doncic’s leg.
The 22-year-old has been averaging 24.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.9 assists this season, leading the Mavs to a 9-4 record.
