Luka Doncic, alongside Kyrie Irving, has propelled the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals where they will face off against the Boston Celtics.
On their journey, they encountered several hurdles and challenges, all of which they successfully overcame. Most notably, they eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers after a hard-fought six-game series, clinching win with a 4-2 scoreline. They then faced a similar fate against the Oklahoma City Thunder, before sealing the deal with a 4-1 triumph over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves, who had previously ousted the reigning NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets, in seven games, appeared to be the frontrunners for the title until one man emerged – Luka Doncic.
Slovenia’s representative has played 17 games in the playoffs so far. He averages 28.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game, all while battling through four nagging injuries. According to the medical staff of the Dallas Mavericks, if this were the regular season, Luka Dončić’s current condition would require a three-week break. He’s dealing with Achilles tendon inflammation, two painful knees, and lower back issues. To prepare him for the challenges ahead, he has been undergoing daily medical treatments lasting two to three hours since the series against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Despite these adversities, Doncic continues to lead the NBA playoffs in an astounding seven statistical categories:
- points – 489
- rebounds – 164
- asissts – 150
- steals – 28
- field goals made – 166
- three pointers made – 57
- free throws made – 100
