Hallelujah's fall! Calf injury missed at least 1 month. MVP loses eligibility for ALLNBA team



Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic was completely eliminated from the MVP list this season.

U.S. sports media ESPN reported on the 28th (Korea time) 'Dallas Luca Doncic injured his left calf muscle at the Minnesota Timberwolves last time. He will be absent for at least a month. A month later, it will be re-evaluated (for the return to the court)," the report said.

Doncic was injured after a physical fight with Minnesota defender Jayden McDaniels. After stopping dribbling, I passed in pain. Eventually, he complained of a calf muscle injury and left the court.




CBS Sports in the U.S. reported that Doncic underwent an MRI and was diagnosed with a colon for at least a month. Doncic missed all of the preseason due to a calf contusion in training camp this season. There is a history of left calf injuries, reports said.

Dallas is 19-11 and fourth in the West. The team ace will be out for at least a month. However, Dallas remained competitive in the absence of Doncic. It strengthened its strong defense and transition, and made the most of Kyrie Irving's shot creation in the set offens. However, the possibility of a decline in Dallas' performance has increased.

Doncic is highly likely to end up with no spectators this season. Is there a new rule that requires you to play 65 or more of the league's total 82 games to be selected for league MVP or all NBA team??It's the door.




Doncic has already missed eight games. There is little chance that he will play 65 games this season.
