WASHINGTON – The Dallas Mavericks are very concerned about Luka Doncic’s usage rate.
It’s high. And the Mavs believe if they don’t get it under control, their superstar point guard may have some issues by Christmas.
“There are possessions (the Mavs) have to help Luka on defense, because he’s doing so much on just the offensive end,” coach Jason Kidd said prior to Thursday’s game against the ‘Washington Wizards. “We’ve got to be able to find that balance for him to participate defensively so that helps us win games. But the usage rate is so high, so sometimes there’s going to be some situations where he doesn’t participate.
