Luka Doncic is suffering a right wrist sprain that will keep the Dallas Mavericks star out of the three-game road trip that begins Friday night in Denver.
The Mavericks said Thursday that their five-time All-Star selection will be reevaluated within the week. Doncic, the defending Western Conference champion, will also visit Miami and Atlanta during his trip, and will also miss Wednesday’s home game against the New York Knicks, according to Doncic’s schedule.
Doncic said he began feeling discomfort in his wrist in the first quarter of Tuesday’s 132-91 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
The five-time All-Star missed the previous game against Oklahoma City with a right knee contusion. It was the first game Doncic missed this season.
Doncic is tied for eighth in the NBA with 28.1 points per game as part of a star-studded backcourt that includes Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. Irving is averaging 24.3 points per game.
