Luka Doncic Discusses Health, Jalen Brunson’s Award Snub

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.

Jalen Brunson Snubbed For Most Improved Award?

Doncic also touched on Jalen Brunson’s play and the point guard not being a finalist for the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award.

“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.

Luka Doncic thinks @jalenbrunson1 should have been in the MIP conversation:
