PHOENIX – The Mavericks are about to get back to what they’ve done best so far this season — survive without Luka Donu010diu0107.
Their superstar point guard suffered a left calf muscle strain in the second quarter on Christmas Day against Minnesota. His night was done and the latest injury report lists Donu010diu0107 as out for Friday’s visit to the Phoenix Suns, which opens up a challenging four-game trip.
This is not foreign territory for the Mavericks. Donu010diu0107 has missed eight games this season and the Mavericks are 6-2, including road wins at Oklahoma City and Denver and a home win over New York.
