‘It got a little scary,’ Dončić says of leg injury

MINNEAPOLIS – It wasn’t a moment when the world was about to end. Then again, when Luka Donu010diu0107 hobbles to the locker room during a game, it’s always a red-alert moment for the Mavericks.

Donu010diu0107 came down after a move in the paint and clutched the back of his right leg, quickly asking to be removed from the game. It appeared he was kneed in the back of the leg by Jaden McDaniels.

As he limped to the locker room with 1:10 left in the first half of the 120-114 win over Minnesota Tuesday, the Mavericks could do nothing but hold their breath.
