Los Angeles Lakers will include Luka Doncic? latest information on the injury report for the Dallas Mavericks star.

Luka Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks face a tough challenge as they prepare to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

Fans tuning in to this Western Conference clash at 7:30 p.m. EST (4:30 p.m. PT) may find the matchup missing its usual star power, with key players sidelined due to injuries.

Luka Doncic, the Slovenian superstar and heart of the Mavericks’ lineup, is out with a left calf strain. According to recent updates, Doncic is expected to miss at least another month before making a potential return. A report noted that he has been using a scooter to get around, as he struggles to put weight on his left foot.

This development has left fans and analysts alike concerned about the Mavericks’ prospects in his absence.

Adding to Dallas’ stress, Kyrie Irving has been ruled out for one to two weeks due to a bulging disc in his back. The absence of both Luka Doncic and Irving marks a significant blow to the team. Head coach Jason Kidd commented on the situation, saying, “Sprained ankle, I think it is. We’ll see how he feels. He’s probably going to be out for some time.”

This refers to Daniel Gafford, another player sidelined after suffering a left ankle sprain during Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
