Luka Doncic gained’t be within the lineup for the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon in opposition to the Denver Nuggets, which isn’t any shock since he’s sidelined with a left calf pressure for at the least the following two weeks. It marks Doncic’s 17th missed game of the season, which ends his streak of five consecutive appearances on an All-NBA first team and makes him ineligible for the MVP award. Doncic joins a rising listing of stars who is not going to meet the NBA’s 65-game requirement for awards, together with Kawhi Leonard, Joel Embiid, Zion Williamson, Paolo Banchero and Chet Holmgren. “I feel that’s simply a part of the character proper now with the way in which the principles are arrange,” stated Mavericks coach Jason Kidd. “When you might have a extreme harm, it will probably knock you out of that, however we all know that he’s among the best gamers. He’s all the time talked about as an MVP candidate.”
