NEW ORLEANS -- Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic walked slowly into the postgame media room Wednesday night and cautiously took his seat at the podium.
He had departed his team's 113-106 loss at New Orleans in the third quarter with a left thigh strain, something that has been bothering him for some time.
When asked how the thigh felt, Doncic chuckled: "It's not good."
Doncic said he would undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of the injury. Doncic had mentioned soreness in the thigh when speaking to reporters following Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns, but said Wednesday the injury has been lingering for longer than that.
