The Dallas Mavericks will likely have to do without Luka Doncic for Game 2 of the playoff series against the Utah Jazz on Monday, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The star player is troubled by a calf injury. His absence is not confirmed, but it would be very surprising if he takes part in the meeting according to Wojnarowski.
Doncic took part in a light shooting session on Sunday. “Yesterday was another good day and today he’s back on the court,” Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said of the Slovenian’s progress.
Luka Doncic is unlikely for Game 2 vs. Utah on Monday, sources tell @espn_macmahon and me. He hasn’t yet been ruled out, but would have to make dramatic improvement in the next 24 hours to be cleared to play with that left calf strain. https://t.co/G32VoqCnMY

In the absence of number 77 in the first game, the Jazz took the measure of the Mavericks 99-93 on Saturday to take control of the series one game to zero.
