The Mavericks will be hoping there is nothing severe about Doncic.
Luka Doncic went past Hall of Famer Jasin Kidd
Doncic finished Thursday with a triple-double registering 30 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists. At just 21, it was already his 22nd career triple-double. With it, Doncic now has the most number of triple-doubles for the Mavericks in the NBA. Achieving it in 122 ganes, Doncic went past Hall of Famer Jason Kidd who had 21 triple-doubles in 500 career games.
Per @EliasSports, Luka Dončić (21y-5d) joined Magic Johnson (21y-227d) and Oscar Robertson (21y357d) as the only players in @NBA history to record 30p-15r-10a before their 22nd birthday.
