Mavs Confirm Luka Doncic Expected to Play vs. Toronto, Layoff May Have Been a Blessing in Disguise

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic has been sidelined for the past several games with a calf strain, but the team has confirmed that he is expected to play in their upcoming game against the Toronto Raptors.

While the injury has undoubtedly been a setback for the Mavericks, some believe that the layoff may have been a blessing in disguise.

Doncic has been playing at an MVP level this season, averaging 33.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game. However, he has also been dealing with nagging injuries throughout the season, and the calf strain was the latest in a long line of ailments.

The Mavericks have gone 3-3 in Doncic's absence, but they have clearly missed his presence on the court. The team is hoping that Doncic's return will help them get back on track and make a run at the playoffs.

The Mavericks will face the Raptors on Thursday night at the American Airlines Center. Doncic is expected to start and play his usual minutes.
