The Dallas Mavericks lost their most recent game against the Denver Nuggets. Now, the Mavs are heading toward the NBA All-Star break with a 3-game losing streak and with a 31-29 record.
Despite the Mavericks going through this rough patch, Luka Doncic is not losing confidence in his side. The Mavericks recently paired up Doncic with Kyrie Irving, thanks to a blockbuster trade.
While Irving may have enjoyed playing with Doncic so far, there is still room for improvement in the chemistry of the backcourt duo. One such flaw in their chemistry was highlighted against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Irving and Doncic fumbled a chance to tie the game in the final play after failing to get a shot up.
Luka Doncic Issues A Warning To The Rest Of The League
The Dallas Mavericks are currently shorthanded, with the most notable absentee being Maxi Kleber. Kleber has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury. The Mavericks are certainly missing the big man’s defensive prowess on the court.
Keeping that in mind, Luka Doncic issued a warning to the rest of the league even after losing against the Denver Nuggets.
A lot of people forget our best defender has been out for like 30 games now. But I think when we’re fully healthy we have a dangerous team. Over the break, for me, I just want to get a little healthier and just relax a little bit. Have some rest.”
Kleber is expected to make his return to the team after the NBA All-Star break. His return to the team will provide the Mavericks with a much-needed defensive anchor on the court.
In addition, Luka Doncic will get some essential rest during the NBA All-Star break. After all, he has been carrying the Mavericks so far this season by averaging 33.3 PPG, 8.8 RPG, and 8.1 APG while averaging a career-high 36.5 minutes per game.
