Doncic spent most of the offseason recovering from his several injuries sustained in the playoffs, which included a right knee sprain and chest contusion.

Every detail matters and it’s very important that we have this mentality in the beginning.”Dallas persevered through several injuries during training camp, which notably included Doncic and P.J.
