Doncic appeared in only 22 games for the Mavericks due to a calf strain. The European star averaged 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists during that stretch.

Fans will see him put on a show on February 15 at the Intuit Dome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (77).
