In the third quarter of the third play-off game between Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks, Luka Donici suffered an ankle injury defending Kawhi Leonard. How serious? It will soon turn out, but Luka himself during the conversation with journalists tried to reassure all his fans.

Los Angeles Clippers they won the third game of the series with Dallas Mavericks and at this point they are leading 2-1. He presented himself very well Kawhi Leonard ending the game with 36 points (13/24 FG, 1/4 3PT, 9/10 FT), 9 rebounds and 8 assists. Team Doca Pours he hit 52% of the game’s performance throughout the match and improved many things that were not functioning as they should in game number two, won by Mavs.
Luka Doncic he finished with a triple-double of 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, but only hit 4/14 from the game. It was a very frustrating night for the Texas squad leader. Before he was injured, he got into a verbal scuffle with Montrezlem Harrellem accusing the high LAC of flopping. The atmosphere in the series becomes more and more tense, so it would be a loss for Doncic to be absent from the injury. However, it is possible that Luka will not play in the next game.
He had an ankle injury in the third quarter. He tried to get back into the game at the start of the final 12 minutes, but the pain was too much and eventually he had to go to the dressing room. In the post-match interview with journalists, he said that it was just a slight twist. The Mavs do not have x-ray results yet, however in the morning the problem could get worse. Much now depends on how much pain tolerance Doncin is able to bear.
If we were in the regular season, the player would probably rest for another week. Play-offs have their own rules, however, and if the injury is not as serious as Donic thinks, the medical staff may use special measures to get the player back on his feet as soon as possible. The Mavs are losing streak 1-2, so meeting number three will be crucial to their chances of advancing to the next round.
