Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic speaks during a press conference after their first practice, on Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023, at Mavericks Training Center in Dallas., but that doesn’t mean it’s a certainty that he will play in Wednesday’s season opener in San Antonio.“It’s good,” Doncic said. But when asked whether there is concern that the calf and thigh injuries are related, Doncic said, “I have no idea. You’ll have to ask the doctors. We’re still figuring out what it is.“It’s off and on.
The seeming good news is though Doncic said he doesn’t feel as basketball-sharp after the layoff, he doesn’t believe he’s lost any of the conditioning he put in for much of the summer in preparation for World Cup play with Slovenia. He said the layoff enabled him to strengthen not only his calf, but his thigh.“No, I actually think it was better,” he said of missing practice the last two weeks. “I had to spend a lot of time in the weight room.
