The American media adds that no return date has been set by Dallas. His absence would be a huge blow for the Mavericks who had managed to finish in the top 4 of the Western Conference for the first time since the arrival of the young Slovenian in 2018. Winner of Eurobasket 2017 with Slovenia and fourth in the Olympics Tokyo, Doncic finished the season with a bang, in the top 5 scorers (28.4 points on average) and passers (8.7).
