Doncic missed the entire preseason with a left calf contusion, but says his leg is ‘perfect’ ahead Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

The Mavericks open their season on Thursday night in San Antonio against the Spurs, and while star guard Luka Doncic was initially questionable, his status to play has been upgraded. He will take the floor looking to build on what was an incredibly successful 2023-24 season, both statistically and in terms of team accomplishments.

Leading up to the start of the NBA season, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic made it clear how he feels about his injury and his chances of playing in the opener. A new NBA season is starting, bringing with it the hopes of several teams striving for the coveted championship ring.

In the event you were worried about Mavericks star Luka Doncic, don’t be. He told NBA reporters he’s “perfect” entering Thursday’s season-opener vs. the Spurs.

The Dallas Mavericks have high expectations for this season, to put it mildly. A trip to the NBA Finals will do that. The beginning of the 2024-25 season is a far cry from 2023-24, when the team was coming off a regular season without a playoff appearance and an international preseason that left players a little worse for the wear.
