Luka Dončić’s status for the Mavericks’ playoff opener on Saturday is up in the air after an MRI confirmed Monday he is dealing with a left calf strain, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.
There is reportedly no timetable set for Dončić’s return. MacMahon also noted that Dallas is not ready to make a final call on the star guard’s availability for Game 1 against the Jazz.
Dončić exited Sunday night’s regular season finale against the Spurs in noticeable pain after injuring his calf while jumping to make a pass; he did not return to the game after asking for a timeout with 2:24 remaining in the third quarter. Dallas went on to win the game, 130–120.
