On January 7, Beijing time, it was reported from ESPN star McMahon that Doncic, the number one star of the Lone Rangers, will most likely miss the game with the Rockets on the 8th, due to another injury to his right ankle. Doncic has been disappointing this season, and if health problems can't be effectively controlled, it is almost impossible for him to become an epoch-making superstar at the Level of James.
During the game against the Warriors, Doncic suddenly limped in the final stages of the fourth quarter, with slow motion showing he twisted his right ankle. Doncic was then replaced for rest. After the game, Doncic said he was in a bit of pain, but he thought he would be fine. However, it is clear that the injury is more serious than Doncic thinks he thinks, and he will most likely miss the game against the Rockets.
Doncic's injuries this season have come from his feet, his left ankle and his right ankle. Prior to this injury, Doncic had missed 10 consecutive games (some of which triggered health and safety agreements). So far this season, Doncic has missed 14 of the Lone Rangers' 38 games, and attendance has fallen to a career low. This is directly related to his body size and weight gain.
Before the start of the season, when fans saw Doncic's size, they thought things were not good. Sure enough, as the season progressed, Doncic's pace dropped significantly, and injuries increased significantly. There are reports that Doncic has gained 30 pounds compared to when he first entered the league. Excessive weight is very detrimental to the knees and ankles. So far this season, Doncic has averaged 25 points, 8.8 assists and 8 boards per game, but the shooting rate is only 44%, and the three-point shooting rate is only 31.8%, which is a significant decline compared to last season.
As we all know, to become a historical superstar, you need to have a steely body. Jordan, Kobe, Duncan, James and other players, careers for the protection of the body are very important, on the one hand thanks to their super physical fitness, on the other hand is also caused by self-discipline. Without being able to maintain the peak of more than 10 years in the league, this player cannot become an epoch-making superstar, and health is the root of everything. Doncic, 23, really have to be careful.
