Luka Doncic, the star player of the Dallas Mavericks, saw his streak of seven consecutive triple-doubles come to an end on Wednesday night. The streak was cut short when he left the game early against the Golden State Warriors due to left hamstring soreness. Doncic managed to put up 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists before exiting the game with 6:46 remaining on the clock.
The Mavericks announced that Doncic would not be returning to the game after he left due to the hamstring injury. This left fans and teammates concerned about the severity of his condition. Doncic had shown signs of discomfort with his left hamstring even before he checked into the game, and the issue escalated when he landed awkwardly after a play, prompting him to leave the game.
Coach Jason Kidd made the call to take Doncic out of the game as soon as he noticed the discomfort the player was experiencing. Kidd expressed uncertainty about Doncic’s availability for the Mavericks’ next game against Oklahoma City. The team’s coach stated that they would have a better understanding of Doncic’s condition the following day and that the situation was currently under discussion.
While Doncic’s impressive streak came to an unfortunate end, another player on the Mavericks’ team, Daniel Gafford, managed to set a record of his own. Gafford made 33 consecutive field goal attempts over the course of five games, showcasing the team’s depth and talent even in the absence of Doncic. Despite the setback, the Mavericks are looking to maintain their winning streak and continue their strong performance in the games ahead.
