Luka Doncic ‘progressing well,’ could return before All-Star break

Luka Doncic return

The Dallas Mavericks may be getting star Luka Doncic back even sooner than expected. Head coach Rick Carlisle said on Friday that he could come back before the All-Star break.

Per Mike Peasley of ESPN, Carlisle said “there is hope” that Doncic will be back before then and noted the second-year star is “progressing well.”

Doncic suffered an ankle injury during practice just over a week ago, and at the time of the injury the Mavericks were hopeful the injury would be manageable and that he’d return soon. An MRI determined it was a “moderate sprain,” so he escaped any major damage.

Prior to injuring his ankle, Doncic was having a phenomenal season for Dallas, averaging 28.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 8.7 assists.
