Yesterday, the Dallas Mavericks continued their home game against the Utah Jazz in their second meeting in the first round of the Playoffs in the West this year.
In the first game, the Mavericks lost to the Jazz 93-99, mainly because Doncic accidentally strained his calf muscles in the final game of the regular season and was forced to truce. In the second game of yesterday's series, the Mavericks used their lives in three armies, and the main guard Brunson bombed 41 points, leading the team to complete the reversal, pulling the total score to a 1-1 draw.
Now, the Mavericks have finished playing two home games, and then they will go to Salt Lake City to play two away games, and if they don't have Doncic at this time, then they will most likely lose two games on the road. Today, the Mavericks have good news: Doncic may make an early comeback and return to the game in Game Three or Game Four.
Doncic's strain is not very serious, and if it is a mild strain, it can be re-emerged within 7 to 10 days. Watching the ball at the scene yesterday, Doncic witnessed Brunson's bravery and was greatly encouraged, not only shouting MVP with the home fans during the game, but also hugging Brunson after the game, thanking the latter for coming forward in a moment of danger.
Next, Doncic's injury is almost healed, so he will travel with the team to Salt Lake City, possibly returning to the field in the away game.
Now that the Jazz have missed the best time to crush the Mavericks in one fell swoop, they should have taken a 2-0 lead before Doncic decided to make a comeback, making Doncic's early comeback meaningless. Now the morale of the Mavericks has soared, Doncic is also full of fighting spirit, once the next two home games are captured by the Mavericks, the Jazz still want to take the next gram, it is really not easy.
