Dončić’s leadership will be tested with injury, much like Dirk’s in 2003

Luka Donu010diu0107 has always had the talent. No debating that.

What he’s done this season, however, is take a step beyond just being the Mavericks’ best player and one of the best on the planet.

He now is the unquestioned leader of the franchise.

And Luka the leader is going to get another opportunity to inspire his teammates and fanbase in the wake of his left calf strain suffered Sunday night in the third quarter against San Antonio.

Donu010diu0107 had an MRI performed on Monday, which multiple reports said confirmed what the Mavericks first thought: a strain of the calf muscle.
