Luka Doncic has mild calf strain, will miss last preseason game

Luka Doncic has a mild calf strain and will miss the final preseason game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd revealed after Mavericks practice on Monday.

Doncic originally injured his calf during a practice just before the team’s matchup against Real Madrid in Spain last week. Despite the injury, Doncic was able to still start and play the first five minutes of the game, before being pulled to manage the injury. The team had a required three-day layoff after the game was over, with Monday being the first day the team could practice and give an update.
