MILWAUKEE – When you need a full dose of bad medicine, it’s usually not fun.
But it ends up making you better in the long run.
That’s the way the Mavericks have to approach being without Luka Doncic for a period of time, maybe until after Christmas as his sprained right ankle suffered Saturday night against Miami heals.
It could be longer, maybe a little shorter if they’re lucky. But either way, it will not be so long without their superstar that it would cripple their hopes and dreams.
The Mavericks have no option but to look at this as an opportunity, a chance to see who wants to step up and carry a bigger load.
