DALLAS — After Luka Dončić was sidelined for Sunday’s victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder with a right knee contusion, he is considered questionable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.
Dončić last played on Saturday and recorded 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists in 28 minutes against the shorthanded San Antonio Spurs. Through 12 games played, Dončić has maintained strong production this season, averaging 29.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 8.0 assists. However, his efficiency has declined thus far, with shooting splits of 42.8% from the field, 32.0% from deep, and 81.0% at the free throw line.
The Slovenian superstar’s health remains important to monitor after he began the season without participating much in training camp. He was sidelined for all of the preseason due to a calf injury, and he’s dealt with various minor injuries throughout the regular season.
