Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic is nursing a sprained wrist and will be re-evaluated in one week, the team announced Thursday morning.
Doncic sat out his first game of the season Sunday because of a sprained right knee. He returned to the floor two days later and scored a game-high 26 points in Dallas’ 132-91 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA Cup.
Doncic downplayed the injury following Tuesday’s game, telling reporters it was “nothing.”
According to the team, Doncic underwent an MRI after the game.
The Mavericks take on the Denver Nuggets on Friday to begin a three-game road trip. They also visit the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks on Sunday and Monday, respectively, before hosting the New York Knicks on Wednesday.
Doncic, 25, is averaging 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.6 assists in 14 games (all starts) this season.
A five-time NBA first-team selection, Doncic sports averages of 28.7 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.3 assists in 414 career games (all starts) with the Mavericks.
