Video if you like it and tell other people to join in on inside the M Luca dones will not be joining the mass himself on Thursday and who knows how long after we found out on Wednesday that Luca donic has a right ankle sprain that will keep him out of Thursday

Night’s game against the New York Knicks and unsure right now of a timetable for his return he was already dealing with right ankle swelling over the last last couple of games that we’ve seen pop up on the injury report in addition to the quad injury that he’s been dealing with all

Season and the Mavericks who are trying to get healthy and stay healthy consistently during second half of the year a team that’s 22 and 16 in the midst of a seven game home stand their longest of the Season it just seems that the injury bug continues to plague this

Team Dante exm is already out right now with a right PL with a planer fashion injury Derek Lively is also out with a left ankle sprain so this team who has seen Grant Williams deal with an ankle sprain Derek Lively with two separate ankle sprains Dante exom with the planer

F actually kba is down right toe dislocation as he has been upgraded to doubtful for the first time since November 8th when the last time he played so for a team that’s trying to gain some Rhythm and consistency moving forward as far as their lineups are

Concerned this is a big blow to the Mavericks as they they move forward here and with Kyrie Irving just having returned from his own heel contusion when will this team be able to find the chemistry consistently that will allow them to develop the kind of continuity moving forward because right now it

Doesn’t seem like that has been able to be the case so far even with them being six games above 500 at 22 and 16 by the way that’s the same Mark that they had through 38 games a season ago and we know how things ended there don’t necessarily think that will obviously

Happen this year but it is cause for concern as these lingering issues continue to bother Luca donic now with a right ankle sprain on top of a quad injury where he’s carrying the low significantly every single night playing over 38 minutes T night and we know that

His usage rate is always going to be high with being one of the five best players in the league with all the things that the Mavericks ask him to do on a night tonight basis that just means Kyrie Irving will have to shoulder a much larger load now for the foreseeable

Future again no timetable yet on when Luca dones will return as we’re finding out that he has that right ankle spring but as we’ve seen with Derek Lively as we’ve seen with Grant Williams Grant Williams was fortunately only able to miss a couple of games because of the

Ankle sprain that he had dererk Lively was able to return after missing four or five games himself before spraining the ankle again hopefully this is not a long-term injury for Luca dones and something that he can come back from relatively quick rest go forward here the Mavericks as they finish up their

Seven game hom stand have the Knicks and then they welcome in the New Orleans Pelicans for the final two game their home stand before they take on the likes of the Warriors and the Lakers in the Celtics among other teams as the schedule gets more difficult moving forward to try and

Ensure that they are staying afloat in a top six position in the west and not get too far behind because we know know in a deep Western Conference this year a three or four game losing streak could have you going from three or four to seven or eight and a heartbeat that is

How interesting the conference is right now and more importantly how much Luca donic means to this team and what they’re trying to accomplish because if they find themsel after really being able to find some Rhythm especially defensively over the last couple of weeks as I mentioned you’ve seen Luca donic and Kyrie Irving

And tandem together really put together some beautiful offensive music this is not a good sign for the Mavericks as they continue to try and deal with this again hopefully the concern is alleviated by him being able to get some rest and not being able to have to be

Out for a long period of time but if he is the likes of Kyrie Irving alongside Dereck Jones Jr hopefully when Dante exm returns guys like Tim Hardway jior and others are going to have to step up in his absence and hopefully when Derek Lively comes back they’ll be able to

Have some of that Rim protection and rebounding that they’ve been missing but Luca Donis is the proverbial straw that stirs the drink and right now there will not be a drink stirt at any moment at least on Thursday and again figuring out when he is able to return as quickly as

Possible and if you’re the Mavericks the approach that you’ve taken so far this year whether it be with Kyrie Irving Derek Lively II Grant Williams to a degree you should not rush Luca donic back until he is as close to 100% as possible and that’s the ultimate conversation here that we’re going to

Have is that the Mavericks approach to do with Luka donic is ultra important not just to his future for this immediate portion of the season but go for the rest of the year and into the playoffs don’t allow him to come back until he to 100% if not

100 as possible dealing with that ankle sprain and once he’s ready to go then that’s when he gets back on the flooor because I would rather the Mavericks suffer the blow now and deal with it and the interim versus this continuing to linger on for the rest of the year and

That by the time you get to the postseason he is still dealing with an ankle injury that if he re aggravates it could see him missing significant time when it matters most this is the time right now to be able to get him the rest

That he needs and you sit him until he’s ready to go I know he is an ultra competitive player and he loves to compete and play every single night and I’m sure it’s killing him not to be able to be on the floor with his teammates as we’ve seen demonstrated throughout the

Course of his career a guy that loves the game has a joy for the game and loves to play basketball every single night and willing to play through injury no matter what this may be a blessing in disguise for the Mavericks for them to be able to sit him for a little while

Allow him to rest both the ankle and the quad so that by the time he is ready to get back on the floor he can provide the kind of custom seeing from him every single night but short of that Luca donic needs to sit and to relax and be

Able to get himself as healthy as possible you don’t want to lose ground obviously in the west you don’t want to find yourself having a lack of Rhythm offensively but if it means being able to have him when it matters most this is the price you may have to pay for a

Little while until Luca Don is healthy because as I mentioned one of the five best players in this league he is an MVP cand and integral to the part of this team and without him they’re virtually a lottery team and that’s no shade and no disrespect to the guys are on this team

That is just how much Luca donic means to this team when he is on the floor especially with Kyrie Irving together healthy they have a chance to beat anybody in the NBA just see what happened just the other day when they beat the Minnesota Timberwolves without

Luca donic this team is not very good and you and I know it just by watching the evidence of how this team has gone about their business without Luca dones on the floor for stretches of time it’s not good so again sit him until he’s healthy and he’s ready to go once he’s

Ready to go put him on the floor but in the meantime Kyrie Irving Jaden Hardy Josh Green Grant Williams Tim Hardaway Jr all of these other guys are going to have to step up and provide the kind of scoring punch to be able to somehow substitute for Luca Do’s being missing

Again unsure of his timetable of his return right now but ankle sprains are nothing to deal with not knowing the severity as far as it being a high ankle sprain or whatever the case may be and it may simply just be him having to rest

But rest he must do for this team to ultimately get to where they want to go and that’s hopefully the second round of the Western Conference playoffs with especially both Luca and kyri healthy together once Derek livley comes back as well and they find a way to develop the

Chemistry and continuity on a consistent basis needed to be able to move forward in the west but we’ll see but that is the news Luca donic right ankle sprain out against the Knicks no time of his return at this particular Point as the Mavericks try to move forward and ensure

That they are getting another win stack another win or two during this home stand because it will be difficult with the Knicks and the Pelicans in these final three games of this hom stand they will need to find a way to get a win even without the services of Luca Don

It’s going to be tough obviously but the Mavericks are tag that right now to try and figure it out again you can find me on Twitter at Kevin gray Sports be sure to download And subscribe to the inside the Mavericks podcast wherever you get your podcast for free give it a f star
