No one handles the ball more than Luka Doncic.
So his turnover totals are never going to be spotless, whether he’s trying to thread the needle with a pass, catching a teammate off guard, or simply losing control of his dribble every now and then.
Doncic is averaging 80.4 touches per game, according to NBA.com advanced stats. Only 12 players are touching the ball more, including some of the biggest stars in the game: LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
So Doncic’s spate of turnovers in his past four games, including a season-high nine in Monday’s loss and seven, his second-most this season, Wednesday night in the Dallas Mavericks’ 110-101 win over the Indiana Pacers at American Airlines Center, needn’t raise too many alarms.
