Dallas Mavericks star guard Luka Doncic was sidelined for Sunday’s road game against the Chicago Bulls because of a left quadriceps contusion.
The Mavericks put up points but struggled overall without Doncic. A 32-point fourth quarter pushed the Bulls to a 118-108 victory.
Doncic’s status for Monday’s road game against the Houston Rockets has yet to be determined, coach Rick Carlisle said before the game.
“We’ll see how he feels tomorrow,” Carlisle said. “We don’t think this is a long-term thing, but we’ll just have to see how he feels when he gets up tomorrow and if tomorrow is going to be a possibility or not.”
Doncic, a first-team All-NBA selection last season, has gotten off to a relatively slow start, as his scoring (24.4 points per game), rebounds (7.6) and assists (6.4) through five games are all down significantly from his 2019-20 averages.
Doncic, who is shooting 43.2% from the floor and 16.1% from 3-point range, has acknowledged that his conditioning needs to improve after he reported to training camp carrying several extra pounds.
