A new NBA season is starting, bringing with it the hopes of several teams striving for the coveted championship ring. One of those teams, the Dallas Mavericks, aims to go as far as possible. To achieve this, they will need their roster at its best, and none other than their star Luka Doncic provided a big update on the injury that has been bothering him in recent days.

The Slovenian has been sidelined for several days after suffering a calf injury. However, his recovery has been effective, and he was held out of preseason games to ensure he is in the best shape for the start of the season.

In a recent interview published by reporter Joey Mistretta on his X account (formerly Twitter) @JoeyMistretta_ , Doncic acknowledged that he feels recovered from his injury: “It doesn’t hurt a lot… It’s fine now, it’s perfect… I’m good.”
