Luka Doncic did not play against the LA Clippers in back-to-back games on Thursday and Saturday. The Dallas Mavericks ended the mini-series with a 1-1 record despite their MVP candidate watching from the sidelines. Doncic has now missed eight games due to heel and wrist injuries.

He is in danger of missing the NBA’s top awards if he can’t meet the minimum 65-game requirement. Following an interview with Doncic, 24UR — a Slovenian news portal — wrote (translated from Slovenian):

“As he (Doncic) says, he doesn't even think about it, he is completely focused on the main (and only) goal this season - the fight for the championship title.”
