Some amazing positive and unforgettable bonding experiences has occurred for the Mavericks during their trips to Abu Dhabi and Spain.
Still, the Mavs also have to deal with the fact that their two superstar players – guards Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving – have each experienced an injury while on this trip.
Irving played in last Thursday’s game against Minnesota, but missed this past Saturday’s contest against the Timberwolves and Tuesday’s game against Real Madrid with groin soreness. Doncic, meanwhile, suffered a left calf strain in Monday’s practice and only played the first four minutes and 59 seconds of the game against Real Madrid before sitting on the bench the remainder of that contest.
