DALLAS — While it appears likely that Luka Doncic misses Game 3 of the Mavericks-Jazz first-round series, the All-Star is heading in the right direction as he recovers from the calf injury he suffered during the final game of the regular season.
“I’m feeling good,” Doncic told FortyEightMinutes and other select media while adding that he’s still not 100% yet.
Game 4 vs. the Jazz will take place in Utah on Saturday and it appears that Doncic should be available for that contest.

“I don’t know how he wasn’t a Most Improved Player candidate. The jump he made this season, there are not a lot of ppl who did that. [You couldn’t see that every day]. He should be in that conversation,” Doncic explained.
