How concerned should Dallas Mavericks fans be with the state of Luka Doncic’s knee?
Doncic has been suffering from knee problems for weeks now but he hasn’t taken much time off to let it heal.
Now that the Mavericks are going to the second round of the playoffs, competition is only going to get tougher and there will be less time to rest.
Speaking to Dorothy J. Gentry after Friday night’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers, Doncic opened up about his knee.
“I don’t think it’s going to get better before I get some rest. That’s a lot of minutes. Maybe the summer,” Doncic said.

This isn’t the sort of update that Mavericks fans wanted.
Doncic is unquestionably the most important player on Dallas’ roster and they would be in bad shape if they lost him for a string of games.
They are now set to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round.
The Thunder are a young and fast team, which means that Doncic won’t be able to slow down and give his knee any time off.
He is going to be moving fast for at least the next few weeks.
However, it looks like Doncic isn’t too worried about his knee and believes that he will be just fine.
And his recent output on the court proves that to be true, as he has had multiple amazing games recently.
His knee might be bothering him but he’s playing like he’s completely healthy.
The fear is that Doncic’s knee problem will get worse and that could cause him to miss games at the height of the playoffs.
